Our Firm
When you don’t know what to do,
turn to someone who does.
Our practice is plaintiff-driven, results oriented, and client-centered. We fight because we know what matters most: taking care of you and your family.
Prior to becoming an attorney our founder Brian Elston, was a claims adjuster for an insurance company. He handled hundreds of claims, but one claim in particular motivated him to help the injured. In short, a claim settled below its value because the injured employee did not know how to effectively advocate for himself. When Brian went to his supervisor to tell him about the perceived injustice, he was just told “good job.” Brian knew that if that injured employee had an attorney who could advocate for him, the result would have been more favorable and fair for the employee.That moment set the course for the rest of Brian’s life: to become an attorney and advocate for people like that injured employee.

“We care because we know what those who are injured are up against.”
Before becoming an attorney, I was a claims adjuster for an insurance company. I can still recall an injured employee who settled a claim far below its value. I realized the change an experienced attorney could have made for the employee’s life. Those experiences have given me insight, and drive, which benefits my law clients to this day. I am determined to focus on, and fight for, people who have suffered an injury. My practice is plaintiff-driven and its competitive edge is that we fight because we care. Whether advocating for clients in the areas of workers’ compensation, personal injury or civil litigation, the goal is always the same—provide clients with superior service and effective legal representation.
