Bad things can happen to the best of people; an injury at work, an operation that didn't go as planned, a car accident, even a lapse of judgment that leads to a criminal charge. In any type of injury case, The Travis Law Firm can help bad things end with a better resolution.

Operating out of offices in Edinboro and Warren as well as in Erie, The Travis Law Firm concentrates on car, motorcycle, and truck accidents; workers' compensation claims; medical malpractice; wrongful death; Social Security disability claims; and any other injuries resulting from negligence or accident.

“We're a boutique firm, not general practitioners,” says founder Grant C. Travis. “We're experts at what we do. We're in a courtroom regularly representing someone who was hurt and is up against insurance companies with unlimited resources. We help to level the playing field by getting our clients the maximum compensation possible.”

Travis has been in private practice for over 18 years and has personally defended more than 5,000 criminal cases, more than 1,000 DUI (Driving Under the Influence of alcohol) cases, and has handled hundreds of personal injury and wrongful death cases.

Travis's two associates, Chad Vilushis and Douglas McCormick, also have proven track records of success. Travis hired them for his firm after first-hand observation of how each tried cases for the District Attorney's Office of Erie County, often arguing against Travis himself. Vilushis is widely regarded as a top notch criminal and DUI defense lawyer. McCormick is a seasoned workers' compensation lawyer having been honored for his work on behalf of injured workers.

Although Travis and his associates pride themselves on being tough attorneys who will not back down from insurance companies or wrongdoers, they also have great compassion for the people who come to them seeking help.

“If you're calling us, it's because something bad happened in your life — you've been hurt or you lost someone you love in an accident,” says Travis. “Most of the people we represent have never had any experience with the civil or criminal systems. Helping people through these experiences is the most meaningful thing we can do.”

Travis says that people they represent on criminal charges are also deserving of compassion and the best representation possible.

“I've had experience with both sides of drunk driving cases,” says Travis. “It's an area of law that permeates everything I do and really touches our community. It's heart wrenching when I'm representing an estate of someone who's been killed by a drunk driver and left minors behind, but gratifying when we can help those children. However, I have the ability to see the other side, too. Most of the people we defend against DUI charges are law-abiding citizens, with jobs and families, who made a bad mistake. They did not leave that bar or party with the intent to hurt anyone, and going to jail would destroy their life. If we can save them from that, we will. At the end of the day, we're just glad we helped someone.”Bad things can happen to the best of people; an injury at work, an operation that didn't go as planned, a car accident, even a lapse of judgment that leads to a criminal charge.
