Our Story

Founded on Principle.
Built on Results.

In 1989, James Ashford and Margaret Sterling opened a two-attorney practice in the heart of Washington, D.C. with a single conviction: that every injured person, regardless of their background or resources, deserves the same standard of excellence as the most powerful defendant they face.

Over three decades later, that conviction has evolved into one of the District's most respected personal injury practices — a firm that has won over $150 million for clients and shaped landmark precedent in D.C. courts.
