Dorotea Altamirano
Founding partner
I open every file by asking the client what a normal day used to look like. The claim has to show that, not just a medical total.
I opened the firm to take fewer cases and answer for each one myself. Many of my clients work two jobs and have never dealt with an insurer, so I explain every letter in the language they read best.
I take car and rideshare crashes and wrongful death claims. Hilario and Crispin take the others, and we read each new file together before we say yes.
