Mission
We started TL4J in 2007 with the goal of building a law firm like no other in history. The name of the firm would be something that represents what we stand for and not somebody’s name.
Trial Lawyers for Justice is our mission statement. TL4J Lawyers commit themselves to a greater ideal. We represent and protect the interests of real people and their families, not corporations, not the government and certainly not insurance companies. This law firm will outlive us all and be something Americans nationwide know they can turn to when they need help.
TL4J is a law firm that the rich and powerful insurance companies, billion and trillion dollar corporations, and the government respect and fear because it is known that we will not settle cases cheaply. We take cases to trial where other lawyers would settle. We’ve won record verdicts and settlements throughout the country. We offer specialized training for lawyers who want to learn how to be better and more skilled in the courtroom. TL4J is committed to preserving, protecting and improving our justice system.
