"There is an old lawyer saying that goes: ""Cases are not won in the courtroom."" What does this mean? It means that cases are won through careful investigation and preparation, not by arguing in front of a judge and jury. At The Monteleone Law Firm, we take this saying to heart.

We painstakingly prepare every case, gathering every detail - witness statements and key testimony, elements of proof, jury instructions and more - into a single, well-organized notebook. More often than not, our preparation allows us to win the case without even having to go to trial. Our opponents, typically insurance companies, see the work we have done and know that they have to provide a full and fair settlement to the victim.

Winning Personal Injury Cases, Inside of the Courtroom and Out

While the vast majority of our cases are won outside of the courtroom, we are trial attorneys with more than 20 years of experience. We will go to court if that is what it takes to get results. Our opponents know our reputation in the courtroom, as do area judges and fellow attorneys, who frequently compliment us on our trial skills after seeing us in action. Not every attorney knows the ins and outs of trial. We do, and that is why we are able to achieve results.
