  Protecting Our Clients  

OUR PHILOSOPHY

In our world today, we see a clear and present danger on our roadways. Routinely, trucks and trailers carry dangerous loads. These are accidents waiting to happen and most are clearly avoidable.
 
We represent the people killed or harmed due to negligence. We have a history of multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts in trucking litigation, personal injury, and workers' compensation.

Our Philosophy

  Our Clients Come First  

A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE
THAN ANY OTHER LAW FIRM.

"At Burnes Libman, we're there for you. You'll work directly with one of our top attorneys and we'll fight for you throughout the whole process. 

At larger law firms, your call may not be returned for over a week. You also can be shuffled from lawyer to lawyer, with no rationale or reasoning. 

We'll be there every step of the way. That's our promise."

- Don Burnes & Steve Libman
