Where the Only Case that Matters is Yours

A Personal Note...

“I have dedicated my career to representing people injured or killed from preventable accidents and dangerous products. My clients come from all walks of life, and I handle their lawsuits like I would for family. And that’s because the most important case to me is Yours. The unfortunate truth is that not all lawyers are of equal caliber, and not all law firms have the same time or resources to pursue your claims to the fullest. Choosing the right attorney is the difference between receiving fair compensation for you or a loved one’s injuries and receiving too little or nothing at all. Along with providing personal attention to each one of my clients, I am proud of the work I’ve accomplished over my career. And I'm honored for the lives I’ve changed when securing my clients countless millions of dollars in awards and settlements. If you or a loved one have been injured, let’s have a conversation – they changed your life for the worse, let me work to make it better.”

                                             Thomas G. Oakes II

"The Oakes Firm is a premier boutique law firm servicing clients who have
been catastrophically injured or killed due to the fault of another."

Frequently Asked Questions

Reviewing Legal Agreement

Do I Have a Case?

The circumstances of each accident are unique. The best way to determine whether you have a viable legal claim is to speak to a lawyer as soon as possible. The Oakes Firm provides free case evaluations. We can speak however you prefer, in person, over the phone or zoom.

The Statute of Limitations sets a strictly-enforced time limit to file a lawsuit. In most states, you have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit from the date of an accident. If you or a loved one have been injured, it is best to contact The Oakes Firm immediately. The clock is ticking.
