    • Boise, Idaho Area

    Assist two well respected attorneys who have been practicing in Boise for many years, have walls covered with awards, and are sought by attorneys far and wide for their expertise in personal injury, malpractice, and abuse litigation matters. As we "work into the sunset of our careers" together, it is an atmosphere of positive, low stress, and the highest of integrity. Our day to day work with Blue Cross in their subrogation matters finds us working with attorneys throughout the northwestern area, and the selective nature of the other matters leaves those cases where we can make a difference in the lives of the underdogs. What a great place to spend these golden years of our careers together!
