Where Tradition Meets Change: the Paulson & Nace Difference
Choosing the right medical malpractice or personal injury lawyer for your needs is not a simple undertaking. The circumstances of your case, and the effects of your injuries and losses, are uniquely and deeply personal to you. You deserve an advocate – one who sees you for who you are, and who can ensure that your story is told.
You can find that advocate at Paulson & Nace. Here you will find attorneys who will fight for your loved ones the way you do: passionately and relentlessly, no matter what. That is the Paulson & Nace difference.
We are a team who understands what thoughtful, personal representation can do on behalf of those who have been wronged. Our success on behalf of the injured is rooted in a history of respect for the justice system, and the ability to adapt to new laws and regulations in an ever-changing world. This requires a constant commitment not only to the people we serve, but to the system in which we work. To that end, we are constantly educating ourselves on the latest changes to the law as well as potential legislation that could affect how we prepare and present cases. After all, it is called the practice of law for a reason, and we have spent our lives honing our craft.
This commitment to education and excellence is why we have been able to secure millions of dollars in verdict and settlement amounts for our clients, to better enable them to care for themselves and their families in the future. It has always been Paulson & Nace policy to never accept a settlement offer that benefits a defendant instead of our client. Because we are not afraid to take a case to trial, and because we have been so successful trying cases before juries, we are able to negotiate advantageously on behalf of our clients.
Paulson & Nace is widely respected throughout Washington, DC, and West Virginia for our accomplishments both in and out of the courtroom. We are dedicated trial attorneys who do not balk in the face of large insurance companies or well-known businesses whose practices or products are directly related to the root of your injury. By implementing cutting-edge technology and technique designed to help with the discovery process as well as jury trials, we continue to build on our history of precedent-setting court cases.
We are also proud of the vast attorney referral network we have built with our peers, and welcome the opportunity to collaborate with other attorneys in Washington, DC and throughout the country.
