Scott Slappey and Jay Sadd are partners in a law firm that marshals the skills and resources of experienced lawyers to protect the interests of individuals and families in the event of serious personal injury or wrongful death due to negligence. We only handle cases involving serious or catastrophic injury caused by legal negligence. We fight for full and fair justice for all of our clients, many of whom have become our best friends. We are humbled by the fact that nearly all of our cases are referred to us by our clients and other attorneys.
We take great care in selecting our cases. We consider any frivolous lawsuit or frivolous defense as a serious affront to the judicial system. Consequently, although we are honored to review hundreds of cases a year, we only accept the few that we know in our hearts and minds are valid and demand justice. By limiting the number of cases we take, we are able to handle each case with personal attention and professional experience we have gained over the years. The cases are handled directly by the lawyer you meet. Not by paralegals and assistants, although we employ an excellent and indispensable staff to assist us in our success.
