Even today as I sit here reflecting back, the fight that we have given the insurance companies over the last 27 years has actually made it all worthwhile. And quite frankly, I enjoy every day that I come to work because I enjoy trying to help the average person fight. And let's face it, it's big business. The insurance industry is the most powerful lobbyist group in our country. There's a reason why they are. It's because we pay premiums, they deny claims. So we need people to look out for us. And so I can honestly say as I sit here today, I enjoy the fight. I'm going to continue fighting for my clients to make sure that they get what they're entitled to. With regard to McKenzie and Snyder, um I brought my practice here from downtown Cincinnati to Hamilton in 1996. Started in a small office, actually right around the corner from where we're at today, and uh just began growing the practice from there. It was just me, myself, and I, McKenzie Law Offices, and nobody else. Eventually I added Chris Snyder. Chris Snyder is now the Snyder part of McKenzie and Snyder. We formed the law firm in 2004 and began construction in our current office building. Uh we moved here in 2006 to Dayton Street. We love uh everything that's been going on in Hamilton and the revitalization of this city and Butler County as as in general. What we see over the years and have seen in the past is that law firms sit down on Fourth Street and they sit down on Main Street and they're downtown and you come to the law firm. By being in this central location of Hamilton, our firm is able to send out our attorneys and our paralegals to go meet with people throughout this whole area from Cincinnati to Dayton. The insurance adjusters, they have lists. They know who tries cases. They know who goes to court. They know who can try a case and they know who can't try a case. They are there are lists. And your goal as a good trial lawyer is to be on the list of, well, I'd rather not try a case against them so I will pay more money. So how does it benefit our clients? Well, it's higher compensation. Uh our tort system doesn't allow us to go punch the guy in the nose that hit us in in in the rear end, right? All they can do is award us extra compensation for the pain and suffering that we were put through. That is what a strong aggressive attorney can do.
