Together, they've secured multimillion-dollar verdicts, taken on some of the most powerful corporations and insurers in the country, and proven time and again that justice belongs to those willing to fight for it. Karp is known for delivering groundbreaking verdicts through relentless preparation, bold strategy, and an unshakable belief in the power of a jury. Welcenbach has achieved landmark results of his own, defined by fearless advocacy, tactical precision, and a career-long dedication to standing with victims of catastrophic injury and wrongful death. Each brings a distinct style — but both share the same uncompromising commitment to their clients. Now, for the first time, they step into the spotlight together.
