Better Together
Referrals Built on Trust, Results, and RespectAt Laminack Pirtle & Martines, we recognize that when an attorney refers a client to us, it is a profound vote of confidence — and a responsibility we do not take lightly. We view referral relationships not as transactions, but as true partnerships grounded in mutual respect and a shared commitment to justice.
When a colleague entrusts us with one of their clients, we see it as both an honor and a serious obligation. Our promise is simple: to treat every referral with the same level of care, diligence, and relentless advocacy we would expect for our own clients.
Why Referral Relationships Are So Important to Us
Trust is the cornerstone of our practice, and referrals are the ultimate expression of that trust. We never take it for granted when another attorney chooses to work with us. In return, we prioritize open, consistent communication throughout the life of each case, keeping our referral partners informed and engaged every step of the way.
We approach every referred client with personal care, dignity, and an unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Many of our referral relationships span years — and in some cases, decades — a testament to the confidence our peers have in our team, and the results we deliver time and time again.
Our Track Record: Referral Success Stories
Over the years, we’ve been honored to fight for countless clients referred to us by trusted colleagues — and we’re grateful to share just a few examples of the outcomes we’ve achieved together:
- Oilfield Accident — Secured an eight-figure settlement for the family of a derrickman who suffered a fatal injury on the job.
- Defective Product — Achieved an eight-figure settlement in a wrongful death case linked to a contaminated personal hygiene product.
- Rideshare Collision — Recovered a settlement ten times higher than the defendant’s initial offer for a client injured in a rideshare vehicle accident.
- Mass Tort Litigation — Over the past 20 years, LPM has partnered with referral attorneys nationwide to recover hundreds of millions of dollars on behalf of individuals harmed by dangerous pharmaceuticals, defective medical devices, and unsafe consumer products.
