“Helping people, letting them know that there’s a good human being out there standing up for them, and fighting to put them back in the shoes they wore prior to their injury means that I’m making a difference in the world for the better. It means that I am fighting the good fight. It means that I can go to sleep at night and be proud of what I do.”
As a compassionate and zealous pre-litigation attorney who truly values his abilities at “making a difference in the world for the better,” Jimmy Brittain always welcomes his opportunity to Stand Up for You and is a true winner for his clients, his coworkers, and his community through his representation of CR Legal Teamsince 2003. His experience with his father being injured in a motor vehicle accident while he was in law school has instilled in Jimmy his constant mission to fight to win, to fight for justice, and to fight for what is right.
