Dianne Sawaya is on a mission – to make a personal difference in the lives of people who have been injured in car accidents and semi-truck accidents, or who have been harmed by the negligence or carelessness of others. She built her boutique law firm around the idea of a more personal, compassionate practice of personal injury law. That means her clients are at the core of everything the firm does. After all, they call it “personal injury” for a reason – you’re injured, and it’s personal.

With nearly 65 years of combined experience, we are smart, skilled lawyers with a national reach who have built a reputation as formidable foes of insurance companies that are more interested in collecting premiums than in paying claims. With years of experience trying cases in courts in Colorado, Washington, D.C. and Florida, we’re ready to aggressively litigate your case if we need to.
