Professional + Smart + Tough = Results!
We didn t know what hit us when a family member died while vacationing in California due to the extreme carelessness of others. We were truly lost and thousands of miles away from the scene. But our local attorney referred us to PSB, and after our first meeting we knew we had found the best path forward to finding answers about what happened and making sure the people responsible were held accountable and couldn t inflict more harm on others. Our main contact was with Pete Kaufman who is a true professional and extremely knowledgeable and tough. Pete and his team, including Jake Douglass & Whitney Smith, were fighting for us the whole time, even when the defendants were making numerous frivolous arguments and trying so hard to avoid responsibility. Pete s knowledge of the law and legal procedures, and his familiarity with the judges and courts, were critical to moving our case forward in the right direction. Pete kept us informed at all stages. Pete and our local attorney worked together as a great team on many aspects of the case, which made things more difficult for the defendants. Brian Panish was also deeply involved in our case, especially as it moved toward trial. When you see Brian in action, it is immediately clear why he is one of the best trial lawyers in the world. Brian is as tough as they come, and his intelligence and no-nonsense style pierced right through the excuses and lies that the defendants were trying to hide behind. In the end, we found out exactly what happened to our loved one and we held those at fault responsible for their actions. We take extreme pride in knowing that our case will lead to changes in people s behavior and help prevent our tragedy from happening again to others. We highly recommend Brian, Pete & the whole team at PSB!
