MICHAEL ALDER
“My job is to restore people’s faith in our jury system,” said Michael Alder, owner of AlderLaw PC. “Our country’s founding fathers devised a way to protect the little guy from big business or anyone else who was in a position of power and had the ability to exploit it and wrote that into our Constitution. They realized that the right to a trial by a jury of twelve objective people who heard all the facts would result in justice being served the vast majority of the time and would guarantee average Americans who are wronged a fighting chance against the big guys. Runaway juries are not this country’s problem right now – runaway corporations and insurance companies who leave our citizens high and dry, while their executives get rich in the process, are our current nightmare. My job is to educate people about that fact, just as the insurance companies and big corporations are spending tens of millions of dollars to distribute misinformation about our justice system.”
