Cases we handle include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, dog attacks, recreational boating and maritime accidents, wrongful death of a loved one, catastrophic injuries, and other cases involving negligence.

We offer free consultations and there is no legal fee unless we settle or win your case.

Attorney Richard J. Serpe has practiced personal injury law for nearly 40 years, representing individuals harmed by the carelessness of others. He has earned recognition in Best Lawyers for more than 20 years, and much of his practice has centered on advocating for injured children.

Attorney Ashley E. Strandjord brings the same dedication to clients navigating the aftermath of serious injury. Clients know her for careful case preparation, close attention to detail, and staying in close communication throughout their case. She approaches every matter with an understanding that behind each claim is a person or family working through one of the hardest periods of their life.

We fight hard for every client and pursue the best possible settlement to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to the accident, giving clients room to focus on recovery instead of paperwork and constant phone calls.

When you place your trust in the Serpe Firm, you can count on a team that puts your best interests first. With open hearts and attentive ears, we're ready to stand by you when you need us most.
