Roane stated that the firm takes pride in helping clients recover from severe injuries caused by others' carelessness. She emphasized the importance of forcing companies and their insurance carriers to provide just compensation for injuries, pain, suffering, and other losses, which can significantly improve clients' lives.
Molaghan noted that while the client and his family will face lifelong challenges due to the injuries, the compensation will help alleviate their future burdens. He expressed gratitude that the family trusted the firm as advocates during their time of need. Roane and Molaghan bring a combined 35 years of litigation experience to their practice and were recognized as Super Lawyer and Rising Star, respectively, in 2025.
