Chip represented the family of a teenager who was seriously injured in an automobile accident. Various parties were competing for what they believed to be their share of available insurance policy proceeds. Chip was able to secure a full policy limits settlement and place the bulk of the settlement funds into a trust to pay for the young man’s future college education.
"I ran into the young man about 10 years after I had represented his family — in the airport, of all places. We recognized each other and began talking. He told me that he had recently finished up his master’s degree and was headed to Europe. He was able to take a few months off and do this because his education was funded solely by the settlement we achieved. I love knowing that what could have been a very negative situation turned into something positive."
