History

Established in 2010.

We pride ourselves as trial lawyers, not discovery litigators. Everything we do is to prepare us to persuade a jury. At least fifty percent of our time as a firm is spent handling contingent fee matters for plaintiffs. Preparation in these cases is on our own dime. We cannot afford to lose. And we cannot afford to win inefficiently.

We begin with the end in mind, defining and scripting how we win for our clients. Extensive strategy stands behind every case we handle at Fowler | Helsel | Vogt. We work to understand your goals, explore the universe of facts, and methodically construct our approach.

Business Owner

At Fowler Helsel & Vogt, our clients hire us to achieve the best possible result in the courtroom at the least possible cost. Because we learned to run our practice on a contingency-​fee model where preparation of a case is at our expense, we have developed a very efficient approach to civil litigation. We proved that big cases do not require big hours. And, because we staff and run all cases using the same model, clients who prefer to hire us by the hour also benefit from our approach.

There is no costly pyramid structure at Fowler | Helsel | Vogt. As a business, we are lean, mean and un-​leveraged. To counter the structural bloat of our opponents, who often have numerous associates for each partner, we rely on creativity and efficiency.
