The Ramsdell Law Firm Has Been Hired
By Lawyers From Across the Nation
To Litigate Their Interstate Trucking Cases
Past results afford no guarantee of future results. Each case is uniquely different. Nothing in this map of results should create any expectation about the results this law firm can achieve for you. We do not guarantee any results. Winning or losing any case depends upon many factors, including but not limited to, the particular facts of the case, the clients, the injuries, the defendants, the witnesses, the liability, the lawyers, the jury, the judge and the particular laws applicable to that particular case. Recovery or results cannot be and are not guaranteed in any case. Not every client obtains a monetary recovery.
