Any courtroom, any opponent, any legal battle, Rachel Berkness is ready. Rachel handles some of the firm’s toughest, most challenging cases. When the stakes are high, she takes point. She is responsible for serious personal injury cases, including trucking, motor vehicle, premises liability and civil sexual assault claims. She fights for people who have been injured.
In a perfect world, you wouldn’t need Rachel Berkness. Insurance companies and corporations would act fairly. Bad actors would own up to their mistakes, make amends, and move on.
But we don’t live in that world. In this one, justice often has to be fought for.
As a former prosecutor, Rachel knows that even the criminal justice system doesn’t always work for victims. That’s why she proudly takes on civil cases for victims of crime—people who have been let down by the system and still deserve justice.
Today, Rachel prosecutes complex personal injury cases against some of the most powerful corporate wrongdoers. These are the kinds of cases where corporate America tries to drown ordinary people in paperwork, betting that the underdog will give up. They bet wrong.
Rachel believes in the power of the jury system—the ultimate check on corporate power. Jurors are smart. They see through excuses. And when they do, they can make insurance companies and corporations finally play fair.
