Putting the Client's Needs First

Personal attention is something every client deserves from a personal injury attorney. When you hire RFTM, we will customize our services to meet your individual needs. While we enjoy putting our litigation skills to practice in the courtroom, we know that for many clients, the certainty of a settlement may be more favorable than the risks and costs of a trial. As a result, we make every effort to reach a settlement for the maximum value before taking a case to trial. We do, however, prepare each case as if it is going to trial, even though we are starting out with settlement negotiations.

At RFTM, we build strong, long-lasting relationships with our clients. In fact, it is common for us to even build friendships with our clients that last well beyond the resolution of their cases. For our San Francisco personal injury lawyers, a client is much more than just a business transaction or a case file number. We see each client as a person who needs help getting back on his or her feet after a life-altering event. If you have been injured as a result of someone else's negligence, we want to provide you with the resources you need to achieve restoration so you can move forward with your life.

You want your case resolved favorably. We understand this and focus on resolving it. Research and investigation are key.
