Why We Need Trial Lawyers
The people at our firm are proud of the work we do and we are honored that people come to us for help. That’s why it is so disturbing to hear those who advocate for what is misleadingly called ‘tort reform’ smear trial lawyers and the injured people they represent.
We live in a society that values responsibility and accountability, yet the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other ‘tort reform’ advocates want immunity from being held accountable when they negligently injure people through their actions or products. The ongoing Toyota recall scandal is a reminder of the important role trial lawyers play in uncovering unsafe practices and holding the wrongdoers accountable.
When regulations are weak or are simply not enforced, trial lawyers are there to ensure injured people are properly compensated and that unsafe practices cease so that others are not also injured. Additionally, when one is aware that there is accountability for harming someone, a person is more likely to be deterred from engaging in unsafe practices just for the sake of profit. We were glad to see the Wall Street Journal — which usually is pro-business and anti-trial lawyer — host an excellent editorial on the importance of trial lawyers.

Review Us
“We would like to express our gratitude to you (Hunt Willis) for accepting our case. First of all, when I called this law firm, a very sweet and kind lady answered the telephone and gave me assurance by asking and going over the accident with me, while my husband was in the hospital. I felt assured I was doing the right thing for us. She was so helpful in so many ways. What a professional lady. Secondly, we are much pleased that you have settled this case with the insurance company to receive the proper amount to assist us in so many ways. My husband and I are very happy with you and the firm in handling our case. You made us have confidence in your professional and integrity along with your assistant Ms. Routh, when you both came to see us in our home, in which we saw your compassion and thoughtfulness at that time. We will never forget what you have done for us, and we thank the lord for directing me to contact this firm. I’m glad I did.”
