CATCHY JINGLE Lerner and Rowe emphasize philanthropy as ‘the way to go’ By Jordan Houston

erner and Rowe Injury Attorneys has built a reputation as one of the most reputable and successful law firms in the country. Founders Glen Lerner and Kevin Rowe — with catchy slogans like “One Call,That’s All,” “In a wreck, Need a check?” and “Lerner and Rowe is the way to go, call 977-1900” — have dominated daytime TV, billboards and radio stations for years. Boasting over 50 attorneys and roughly 400 support staff across Arizona, Nevada, California, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico and Tennessee, the powerhouse duo has helped over 150,000 injured people recover billions of dollars for car/truck/motorcycle accidents, premises liability injuries, work-related injuries and mass tort claims for recalled drugs and products including: Roundup, 3M earplugs, Zantac, CPAP, hernia mesh, talcum powder, Elmiron, Paraquat and others. According to Lerner, “The development of our mass torts department over the last five years is one of the things of which I am most 12

proud. Everyone always knew us as one of the biggest accident firms in America, but now we have become one of the bigger mass tort players as well. It’s a tribute to our staff, the relationships we’ve developed with other top firms nationwide, and the knowledge gained from over 30-plus years of practice that gives our clients around the country the greatest opportunity for success with their claims.” In Arizona, Lerner and Rowe has fullystaffed offices in Phoenix, Bullhead City, Yuma,Tucson, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Tolleson and Glendale. Since its inception, the Phoenix-based operation with the ubiquitous brand has grown to become far and away the largest personal injury law firm in the state. But what truly separates the company apart from the rest, according to Rowe, is its refusal to settle in one area — giving back to the community. “We’re never really content and we’re not stagnant. We always want to continue to grow or look within and be better among ourselves and the firm,” says the Southern California native. “How can we learn to be better for our
staff, our firm and for our clients? How can we expand to help people in other states?” “We have created a really wonderful work culture where we have engaged our employees to want to be involved with the things we do in this community,” adds Boston native Lerner, saying the firm’s Arizona offices are its most profitable and largest locations. Lerner and Rowe’s nonprofit arm Lerner and Rowe Gives Back “pays forward the law firm’s achievements and successes by assisting other community organizations that serve children and families struggling from the recent economic downturn.” The personal injury attorneys both highlight the latter’s emphasis on the firm as a “business” rather than just a law office.
‘Relational,’ not ‘transactional’
Founded by Rowe, the Lerner and Rowe Gives Back Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that seeks to provide direct benefits to those in need. It offers secondary support to a myriad of philanthropic organizations
