Experience:

At Nordstrom, Steele, Nicolette and Blythe we have settled or tried literally thousands of cases over past 30 years.

Most of the cases settle by agreement with the opposing insurance companies at some point, often times at the Courthouse steps. All cases that settle are settled because of assessments of the risks of trial.

Some cases end up going to trial because no agreement can be reached.

We have tried to judgements cases of each of the following types: air crash cases, asbestos cancers, automobile versus automobile collisions, automobile versus pedestrian collisions, commercial trucking crashes, animal bite cases, slip and falls, defective product caused amputations, construction site accidents, construction defect related property damage, motorcycle accidents and medical malpractice cases.

The types of injuries involved in cases that we have taken to trial include amputations, spinal injuries, brain damage, fractures, burns, mesothelioma, facial scars, paraplegia, quadriplegia and fatalities.

We have been fortunate enough to have won for our clients the substantial majority of the cases that we have tried, many of which resulted in six and seven figure judgements for in their favors.

The actual in court experience provides us with insight into strategies that would be effective and how to put into action those strategies to give our clients the best chances to prevail. Since settlement decisions made by both sides involve trying to envision what would probably occur if we were to go to trial, we are able to provide emphasis on the factors that a judge and jury will be more likely to appreciate in your case based in part on how well such factors had fared in past trials. It is our belief that the one thing we know for sure is that we learn something from every case we try. The things we have learned and continue to learn make us better lawyers and enure to the benefit of our clients.

Continuing Legal Education:

Our office has long been a major proponent of continuing legal education.

There are a number of providers who organize and put forward seminars which educate attorneys about the many things that change over time in the laws and legal procedures. For example, each year the California Supreme Court and the California Courts of Appeal rule on hundreds of matters which often result in changes in the law. Also, the legislature passes new laws each year which the Courts are called upon to interpret. The educational seminars present speakers who lecture and provide written articles which deal with what is developing in an ever developing legal landscape.

Our firm is proud to participate in the seminars as speakers and as listeners to what other speakers have to offer in their presentations. Our firm has been involved as co-chair of the largest annual seminar on personal injury law for more than a decade. Russell Nordstrom has given over 80 presentations at legal seminars over the past 25 years.

Many law firms suggest that they handle cases in all categories of personal injury law. As well, most attorneys are quick to point to their years of experience. The question, however, that must be addressed is the actual experience that your attorney has in handling a case similar to yours.

Every person's case is unique because every person is unique. Certainly their are common threads that bind case patterns together, however, the uniqueness of each case must be appreciated. There are legal issues unique to each case and there is the human element - human reality.

A competent law firm must be able to take the time to completely understand the uniqueness of both the case and the client. Your attorney should have a complete and knowledgeable understanding, not only of the law, but of your case.

Experience and expertise therefore, should translate into not only how many cases similar to yours, your law firm has handled but, of great importance, the trial experience of the law firm in handling cases similar to yours.

In representing injured people exclusively for over 20 years, our Law Firm has handled thousands of personal injury matters to successful conclusion.

We believe that a law firm and its members should have the experience and expertise, not only in handling a great number of cases similar to yours, but also practical experience in doing so.
