At Cellino & Barnes, we have dedicated our careers to representing people whose lives have been devastated by the carelessness of others. Our first priority is always to the client -- people like you who have been wronged. We understand the case belongs to the client, not the lawyer. When we accept a case, we are driven by the realization that the client has invested a huge responsibility in us. It is the effort we expend to fulfill this responsibility that brings results for our clients. Preparation is everything, and we take whatever time is necessary -- day or night -- to advance our client's cause. This is the cost of winning.

As a former officer in the Marine Corps and a Gulf War veteran, I understand the benefits of a disciplined focus on the achievement of an objective. The work we do is not for the meek hearted. The forces arrayed against us -- big business and the insurance industry -- are moved by two things: strength and resolve. We know this about our opponents, and our opponents have come to learn that strength and resolve are what they will get from the lawyers at this firm. Success is not about secrets and shortcuts. Success is all about preparation and determination.

The courtroom successes we have achieved for our clients have given us an enormous amount of leverage at the negotiation table. We represent severely injured people, and we are determined to achieve the highest possible settlements for our clients. We know that only focused trial preparation and a pressing concern for the client's needs will accomplish this goal.
