Legal Philosophy
RMFW operates on a trial-first philosophy. Every case is prepared as though it will go before a jury. This strategy forces defendants and insurers to negotiate seriously, often leading to stronger settlements before trial. When settlement is inadequate, RMFW’s attorneys are seasoned litigators who have taken hundreds of cases to verdict.
Their approach emphasizes client-centered advocacy. Clients are given full transparency throughout the process, with lawyers providing direct communication and updates. The firm’s work is structured around contingency fees—meaning clients owe nothing unless RMFW secures a recovery.
The attorneys collaborate with a network of medical professionals, engineers, accident reconstructionists, and financial experts to build robust, fact-driven cases. This multidisciplinary approach ensures that jurors and judges fully grasp the physical, financial, and emotional toll of an injury.
