Punitive Damages
Our firm seeks substantial punitive damage awards on behalf of our clients from large companies that fail to put consumer and public safety over their profits. The civil justice system in America has historically forced large corporations and product manufacturers to operate in a manner that does not endanger the public and provides for punitive damages if they do not.
Contingency Fee
Have you ever wondered if you can afford being represented by a high-powered law firm? If that is your concern, please realize Panish Shea & Boyle LLP works on a contingency fee basis. This means that our clients owe no attorneys’ fees or costs until we obtain just compensation for the wrongs committed against them.
