Home/Verdicts & Settlements

Millions recovered.

Representative results for injured people and families across Gallup, the Four Corners, and the Navajo Nation, in state, federal, and tribal court. Every case is different, and these figures are shared so you can see the kinds of cases we take and take seriously.

A number is the end of a case. The work that produces it starts the day you call.
Every result on this page came from a case we prepared as if it would be tried to a jury. Insurers and defense lawyers know which firms settle cheap and which ones will walk into a courtroom. That reputation is worth more to our clients than any advertisement.

How these results happen.

Prepared for trial from day one.

We do not build a case to settle it. We build it to win in front of a jury, and settlement offers rise when the other side understands that.

The right court, the first time.

Around Gallup a case can belong in New Mexico state court, a Navajo Nation court, or federal court. Choosing correctly, and knowing how each one works, changes what a case is worth.

We invest in the evidence.

Accident reconstruction, medical experts, trucking and facility records, and the witnesses who disappear if no one finds them early. The hard cases are won on preparation.

Straight talk about value.

You will get an honest read on what your case is worth and what it will take to get there, not a number picked to get you in the door.

Reading these results

The figures below are gross recoveries, meaning the total amount paid by the defendant or insurer before attorney fees, costs, and medical liens. They include both jury verdicts and negotiated settlements. Case types are described in general terms because most settlements are confidential and because our clients' privacy matters more than a headline.

They also reflect the range of what we do. Semi-truck and vehicle collisions on the Interstate 40 corridor, civil rights and jail cases, institutional and sexual abuse claims, nursing home neglect, and medical malpractice against federal facilities each require a different kind of preparation. We take the cases that other firms in the region refer out.
