A Trial Partnership Designed for Solos and Small Firms
At the Walkup Personal Injury Law Firm, we believe in the Seventh Amendment’s guarantee of jury trials in civil cases. The California constitution also guarantees this right. The ability to hold wrongdoers responsible through the actions of committed and intelligent jurors is a fundamental right in our democracy. The exercise of this right is critical in all cases regardless of the injury, the amount of money at issue, or the financial resources of plaintiff’s counsel.
With Walkup Team-Up, collaborating counsel receive the benefit of a dedicated Walkup Law Firm trial lawyer to try the case with you, together with behind-the-scenes strategic support from some of the industry’s most experienced and respected trial attorneys.
Walkup Team-Up was adopted to empower and enable lawyers of limited experience and financial resources to try cases that otherwise might not be cost-effective or feasible, and to protect their clients’ rights through jurors decision making. We offer this collaborative approach by providing financial support and the skills of experienced plaintiffs counsel. Together, we can level the playing field.
Trying cases has always been part of our historic identity as one of Northern California’s oldest trial law firms. We cannot wait to try your case with you.
