Some cases are bigger than their verdicts. Those are the ones I take now.
There’s a film I’ve watched more times than I’ll admit — A Civil Action — about a lawyer who takes on the companies that poisoned a town’s water, and loses nearly everything doing it. Most attorneys watch it as a cautionary tale. I watched it as a job description with a fixable ending. I spent the first half of my career learning how courts work. I intend to spend the second half using them for what they’re for — and, unlike the man in the movie, staying solvent while I do it.

- The Cases
Not Fewer Years — Fewer, Bigger Cases
The consultation is free — but only for the cases this practice exists for now. Here’s what Rodney takes, what it costs, and how to know if your case qualifies.
Matter: Catastrophic Injury & Wrongful Death
Personal injury, civil
The injury that ends a working life
And the company that decided it was cheaper than a recall.
Matter: Sexual Abuse
Civil, survivor representation
For survivors, against the institutions
That looked away — or made sure no one would believe them.
Matter: Toxic Torts & Environmental Harm
Civil, environmental
The chemical in the groundwater
The exposure someone swore was safe. The habitat paved because the fine was smaller than the profit. Cases everyone else called too big.
Matter: Impact Cases
Precedent · animal cases
Where the case itself is the point
A precedent, a polluter, a practice that needs to end. That includes an animal's case, which I'll take for almost nothing if winning it means something bigger than the animal. Some clients pay in something better than money.
- What It Costs
No Hours Billed, No Case Sold
Free
Reserved for catastrophic and impact cases only — because these are the cases this practice exists for, and I'd rather spend that hour on the case that matters than bill it to one that doesn't.
A percentage, not a retainer.
I'd rather earn a real percentage of a real result than sell you hours. The less time your case takes, the lower the percentage — my incentives point where yours do.
The fee bends to the mission.
Sometimes all the way to a tax-write-off loss. Some cases are worth losing money on.
