Trial

“Trials have a winner and a loser. Be the winner.”

Sacramento Trial Attorney

As the saying goes, "Nice Guys Finish Last." Sometimes you cannot be nice; you must be kind. What is the difference?

Kindness is genuine. Kindness is choosing to do good and behave in a way of your choosing because that conforms with your values. Niceness is not necessarily genuine. Some people choose to do good and behave in certain ways out of fear.

Fear of standing out. Fear of rocking the boat. Fear of being disliked. Fear of the natural uncomfortableness that can accompany the choice to do the right thing — when no one is looking, but especially when everyone is looking. When you make choices like these based on fear, you finish last.

Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference until a situation arises where a person has to choose. They must choose between doing the right thing and doing the easy thing. Surrender is easy.

But surrendering means you finish last.

We do not surrender. If you find yourself at a crossroads between doing the right thing, standing up for your convictions even when it is uncomfortable to do so — between standing up for yourself or surrendering, you should consult with a Sacramento trial attorney.

We are not afraid to go to court. We know that lawsuits have two sides: winners and losers. Be the winner. Call us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes.

Yes, if you want us to. Decisions whether to file a case, settle a case, or bring a case to trial are up to you, the client. Many attorneys are afraid of going to trial. That is bad news for their clients..

Call anyway. Law firms represent people often take cases on a contingency basis. What this means is, the client either only has to pay for the 'hard costs' in a case like filing fees or nothing unless the case resolves favorably. In which case, the law firm would be entitled to a percentage of the amount recovered. Or the amount saved. We are no different. We may be able to help you on a contingency basis. However, we are ethically prohibited from taking certain cases on a contingency basis, such as criminal or divorce cases.
