About me

"A great result that doesn’t survive appeal isn’t a great result. I make sure ours do."

P. Whitfield has argued before appellate courts for three decades — first for institutions, now exclusively for injured people. When an insurer appeals a verdict hoping to outlast a family, P. is the reason that strategy fails.

Also the firm’s quiet weapon at trial: motions, preservation of error, and the long game insurers hope you won’t play.
