Our firm
An Elite Law Firm Built for Those Who Have Suffered Catastrophic Injuries And Their Families
Woodward Ortiz was founded on a simple idea: people facing the worst moments of their lives deserve lawyers who know their case personally. We keep our docket deliberately selective so that the attorneys you hire are the attorneys who investigate your claim, take the depositions, and stand up in the courtroom.
Our lawyers have tried cases to verdict in state and federal court, including cases against hospitals, behavioral health facilities, national institutions, and corporations. We prepare every case as if a jury will decide it, because that preparation is what moves the other side.
