Our mission at Spetsas Buist is to build a lasting relationship with every client we serve. In order to do that, we have to do the best work we possibly can and arm ourselves with the most up-to-date knowledge. However, our firm is unique because we go above and beyond to get to know our clients and build a relationship. 

Clients often ask how long it will take to get their case resolved. The answer is always, "it depends." Every case is different, and how long it will take to resolve a case will often depend on:

• The insurance company and coverage available;
• The defense lawyers;
• The severity of injuries; and
• The degree to which the defendant is liable.

Ultimately, for a client to get proper value, a case may need to proceed into litigation, or it may need to go to trial. When a case goes into litigation, it can take a year or more to resolve. 

We have handled many cases involving preventable suicide in mental health facilities, behavioral treatment facilities, baker act facilities, and drug treatment facilities. Cases where we can get justice for folks who have lost their loved ones to preventable suicide and mental health facility negligence are very important to us. These cases highlight some of the most despicable instances of negligence, and we believe that we can save lives by holding these negligent facilities accountable. 

A major part of our business is getting to know our clients. In order to get to know our clients properly, we have to know everything about what they're experiencing and the pain they're going through. Sometimes, clients are going through such an extraordinary amount of pain it's hard to watch them suffer. Sometimes, there's not much we can do to ease their pain. All we can do is hold facilities, entities, and individuals accountable for what they've done to try and get our clients justice and prevent others from getting hurt in the future. However, even though we are able to get justice for our clients, many times there is not enough money on the planet to make them whole after what has been taken from them or what has been done to them. 

I was a collegiate swimmer in college, and I've always enjoyed swimming. I'm also an avid kickboxer and martial artist, and I spend most of my spare time training and developing my mixed martial arts skills.
