We’re trial lawyers and what that means is we have the skill to go to court and go in front of a jury and actually put on the trial of a case. A lot of firms they are civil trial lawyers but all they do really are settlements. They’ll work up a case and then they’ll settle it. But they have a hard time transferring from civil litigation, the workup of a case to the actual trial of a case, getting in front of a jury, putting on witnesses, and telling a persuasive story. So what makes us special is we do both those things. We work up our cases and we try them in front of juries and if it makes sense for the client, we settle them too.

Los Angeles, CA personal injury attorney Thomas Johnston talks about what’s unique about his law firm. He explains that they are trial lawyers, meaning they have the skills to take a case to court, stand before a jury, and conduct a full trial. Many firms identify as civil trial lawyers but primarily focus on settlements—they prepare a case and then settle it without ever taking it to trial. Transitioning from civil litigation and case preparation to actually trying a case before a jury—presenting witnesses and telling a compelling story—can be challenging for most. What sets his firm apart is that they do both: they thoroughly prepare their cases and are fully capable of trying them before juries, while also settling cases when it makes sense for the client.
