Albert Einstein’s advice was to “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Along those same lines, Steve Jobs said, “Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.” Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs were not discussing complex litigation. But their advice has real applicability to the field of complex litigation. Whether it is a multi-party, multi-action claim, multi-jurisdictional litigation, a complex personal injury case, pursuing lost profits for a business or negotiating a resolution for sophisticated investors, simplifying the complex is necessary. At Whaley Law Firm, we specialize in this sort of litigation for farmers, small businesses, publicly traded corporations, individuals and classes of consumers. Whaley Law Firm not only helps people seek justice for the wrong done to them, they also believe in being active members of the community and giving back. GIVING BACK Attorney J. R. Whaley survived a house fire as a child. In fact, he turned nine in the hospital. So he knows the importance of fire safety. J. R. partners with local fire departments and shares his experience surviving a house fire to teach children fire safety. He also gives television and newspaper interviews to share what to do if you find yourself in a house fire. He has donated smoke detectors and other materials to local fire departments during National Fire Safety Week. As a thank you and as a recognition of the heroism of the firefighters who saved his life, J. R.’s family provides scholarships to children of firefighters every year. This scholarship is named in honor of his brother, Brian, who helped save J. R. and his parents from the house fire. In addition to his work with firefighters, J.
