Civil and Criminal Litigation Throughout Vermont and New Hampshire
  

In 1990, James Ulm was riding as a passenger in a Ford Bronco when it suddenly went out of control, struck a tree, and overturned several times, leaving him paralyzed. 

The case proceeded to trial in 1997.  We presented a common sense, simplified case, while calling experts in the fields of engineering, accident reconstruction, economics, and physical disabilities.  The jury returned a $1.25 million verdict; one of the largest ever upheld on appeal to the Vermont Supreme Court.
