HISTORY OF THE FIRM
Since 1958, clients have chosen Westmoreland Vesper &
Quattrone
because of our proven success in personal injury and commercial litigation, winning jury
verdicts or compelling settlements against insurance companies, major corporations and
careless professionals. The roots of our law firm date back to the 1930's with the
Atlantic City law practices of our former, deceased partners Daniel DeBrier, Harry Miller,
Harris Aron and David Brone.
Since the 1980's, Westmoreland Vesper & Quattrone has received the
highest professional rating as to competence and skill from national legal rating
authority: Martindale, Hubbell's Law Firm Directory.
Our firm's long-established reputation for aggressively and without
temerity trying cases puts us in the strongest position to represent our clients and
maximize their recovery. Adversaries are aware
- of lawyers and law firms that are willing to settle for less than a
fair amount out-of-court, or who are incapable or unwilling to try the larger and tougher
cases. In our trade area litigators and defense attorneys know whenever Westmoreland
Vesper & Quattrone are involved in a case that they will have to pay the full
settlement value of a case or risk even more in trial.
Unlike many others, our law firm takes the time to evaluate cases in a
mock trial setting based on the individual facts and personal losses of our clients. We
evaluate each client's case based on our firm's experience with jury verdicts in similar
cases in similar venues. When we advise a client to settle a case, its based on our
assessment of full value without regard to the defendant's assessment. If we don't get
what we and our clients believe is fair we try the case.
The legal team at Westmoreland Vesper & Quattrone will skillfully
handle a simple lawsuit, a complex catastrophic injury or a complex commercial litigation.
Although each of our clients are assigned to a primary attorney, our entire Trial Team reviews,
researches, evaluates and works on behalf of our clients. From the first day in our
offices until a matter is concluded to our client's satisfaction, we promise to serve and
do so promptly and with accessibility around the clock on our "24 hour Hot
Line".
Our law firm is composed of four partners and three associates, a
full-time private investigator, part-time nurses and medical consultants and a top-notch
experienced litigation paralegal staff. Their legal careers and reputations are
distinguished by excellence, commitment and compassion. We make a personal commitment to
each client before we accept any case.
