Quality makes a difference. Jules Grandjean started his career taking injury cases others had labeled “unwinnable.” Instead, Jules successfully litigated nearly every one of them. Some of those “unwinnable” cases resulted in six-figure compensation for the injury victims who were initially shunned. Jules grew up on a steady diet of criminal law.
