Why Shifflet, Kane & Konoske

Clients select us because of our track record and our ability to match our procedure with their requirements in customizing a needed legal program or handling a single case.

Trials and Arbitrations

The attorneys at Shifflet, Kane & Konoske have acted as trial lawyers in hundreds of trials.

They have litigated thousands of binding and non-binding arbitrations in personal injury, business and auto service matters.

Our success in representing clients in jury trials and our ability to keep clients satisfactorily informed throughout their cases has expanded our practice beyond mere personal injury defense and personal injury to our current diversity.

Keeping Our Clients Informed

Insurance companies want to have a preliminary opinion and cost analysis at the outset of a case. They want progress reports indicating the status of the case, incurred costs, direction to be pursued and anticipated costs on an interim basis, and they want to be kept advised of any new information on a case in order to weigh the efficiency of continued litigation versus settlement.

We have met these requirements for such insurance companies as:

These companies have seen us adapt our services to their needs and to the needs of the industry for well over a quarter of a century.

We have also found that these SAME requirements and attributes are important to our non-insurance business clients.
