First-Chair Trial Counsel • The Name on the Settlement

We try the cases.
We sign the settlements.

We are first-chair trial counsel. We negotiate — and we are the people who actually settle the cases.

Most firms post other people’s verdicts and settlements. Stinar Lannen is the firm that actually stands at trial counsel table, and the firm whose name is on the settlement agreement. Trial lawyers who win in front of juries — and closers who resolve cases for real money.

THE POWERHOUSE DIFFERENCE

Two things most firms only claim. We do both.

Anyone can advertise. Very few firms can try a case to verdict and sit across from a defendant and close a nine-figure settlement. We are one of them.

We Try Cases

Verdicts, not social media posts.

Patrick Lannen carries a perfect 12–0 jury-trial record — including a $37.2 million verdict against a publicly-traded company after a two-week trial in 2025. Defendants know a Stinar Lannen case is built for the courtroom.

The name on the MSA.

The Man in the Arena
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly… who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.
Theodore Roosevelt · 1910
