The firm
Big-firm resources. Small-firm attention.
Founded by former insurance defense attorneys Eleanor Hartwell and James Crane, the firm knows exactly how the other side values a claim — and how to make them pay what it’s worth.
You’ll have a named attorney, a direct line and a case manager who returns calls the same day. Always.

How it works
From first call to resolution
Most clients never set foot in a courtroom. But every case is prepared as if they will.
01
Free consultation
Talk to an attorney — not a call center — about what happened and what it may be worth.
02
Investigation
We gather records, secure evidence and bring in medical and financial experts at our cost.
03
Negotiation
We build a demand the insurer can’t easily dismiss and negotiate from a position of strength.
04
Trial, if needed
When an offer isn’t fair, we file suit and take your case before a jury.
After the crash, the insurer offered $18,000. Hartwell & Crane took my case to trial. I finally felt like someone was in my corner.

FAQ
Straight answers
Still unsure? Call (214) 555-0187 — an attorney will pick up.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Injury cases are handled on contingency: you pay no fees unless we recover compensation for you. Business matters are billed hourly or on a fixed fee, agreed upfront in writing.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Deadlines (statutes of limitation) vary by state and claim type and can be as short as one year. Contact us promptly so we can protect your rights.
What is my case worth?
It depends on your injuries, lost income, insurance limits and liability. We’ll give you an honest assessment after reviewing the facts — never a guess on the first call.
Can you guarantee a result?
No ethical lawyer can. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. What we promise is preparation, transparency and a fight for the full value of your claim.
