About the Firm

Dedicated

Bruce J. Klores founded the firm when he was two years out of law school in 1983, working on one birth injury case in a rented basement office of a Dupont Circle brownstone. In 2005, after decades of working in traditional office buildings, the firm proudly purchased the same brownstone in which Mr. Klores started his practice and began the process of painstakingly restoring the building. You are invited to tour the historic building on our website.

Starting with that one case the firm has earned a national reputation for its zealous, creative and compassionate representation of individuals and families. Our philosophy is that each client should be treated respectfully, with the care and attention that their case deserves. For that reason we purposefully limit the number of cases which we take each year. We do not work on "volume" like other law firms. Our clients should be confident that their case will be handled by the attorneys and support staff whom they get to know.

Creative

Virtually every case we takes involves a terrible tragedy. We recognize the substantial responsibility we have when we agree to represent a client. Our track record of success is dependent on a number of factors. It goes without saying that as lawyers we must remain abreast of changes in the law. As medical malpractice lawyers we also must have a working and thorough understanding of medicine. Our job is to meld the legal and medical issues so that we can craft effective strategies to give our clients the best possible chance of winning. To that end, we have been recognized not only by Judges and jurors as standing apart from other firms, but also by Bar Associations, other lawyers and physicians. We regularly teach classes to legal and medical professionals in law and medicine and the interfacing of both. We keep a medical as well as a legal library. Our dedication to the practice and our clients allows us to adjust to the obstacles that are invariably placed in front of us by large insurance companies.

Compassionate

While we are proud of the financial results we have achieved for our clients over the past twenty-five years, we are most proud of our compassionate approach to the practice of law. It humbles us when, after settling a case or achieving a sizable jury award, we receive a "thank you" card from a client standing in front of their new handicapped accessible home, or to receive a note from a grieving mother or widow, letting us know how they came to rely upon our strength as counselors, not only lawyers, through dark days.
