STII is your ally to transform your Soft Tissue Cases into more profitable, rewarding and trial-ready cases.
Our sole purpose is to support Personal Injury lawyers in securing fair settlements for their clients. Far too many lawyers and clients suffer from the lack of Objective Evidence to support real pain and suffering. Our caseloads grow without corresponding revenue growth because we can not settle the soft tissue cases for the amounts they deserve. The insurance companies know this, which is part of their strategy to wear us down and render legitimate claims untriable.
Our scanning technologies and expert reports arm you with the firepower required to settle cases before trial… and, in some cases, to take a case to trial and win.
Winning the smaller cases builds a foundation for winning the big cases that transform your practice.
Personal Injury lawyers regularly deal with people’s injuries and pain; The struggle is often securing a damage award that reflects the real value of the soft tissue injury. If one were to imagine a graph of Personal Injury claims, the long tail of cases would be soft tissue injury cases.
Historically, such cases have been seen as weak, with difficult hurdles to overcome to prove injury and damages. The result is low-value settlements that are difficult to take to trial because of their unpredictability.
Getting a judge or jury to “believe” your client’s complaints of pain is done. We can now “SHOW” the injury in a way that is objective and understandable to the trier of fact. Practicing law can be fun again.
The STII provides a solution to problems plaguing every Personal Injury lawyer.
For the first time, lawyers are able to demonstrate a soft tissue injury objectively.
Practitioners are all too familiar with the frustration of dealing with clients who are genuinely in pain and are struggling with work and recreation, and yet the medical records do not show an objective injury that can be tied to the accident.
Getting the insurance companies to pay out the claim without objective evidence is an uphill battle for Personal Injury Lawyers. Going to trial is risky as juries want to see something that gives them an anchor for damages. Insurance company lawyers pounce on the lack of hard evidence and rip our clients apart, making them feel small and weak by attacking the legitimacy of their suffering. We solve that issue.
The fact that Leila is a legal powerhouse is no surprise when you appreciate where she comes from and what she has accomplished. Leila’s mom was a fiercely independent Syrian woman who refused to bend to her family’s culture and she ran off to marry an American man rather than someone from the Syrian community they had picked for her. Her indomitable spirit inspired her to support her husband through law school by both working and raising her two children when Leila was just 4 years old. Leila’s mother’s sacrifice was in good efforts as her father went on to become a nationally recognized WSIB lawyer who was sought out by Barbara Bush personally to work for her secret service agent who was injured.
Leila and her family grew up in Ohio playing the trumpet with her marching band leading the Macy’s parade and working at a bank that was robbed with gunshots and a bomb.
Is it no surprise that Leila grew up to become an exceptional and fierce lawyer who has dedicated a lifetime to fighting for justice. Leila was fueled by her mother’s spirit, courage, and her father’s forceful career. Leila followed in his footsteps by pursuing and conquering law school in Virginia–where she has since settled and runs her own personal litigation practice.
Leila’s education did not stop after law school; She is known for travelling and attending the top trial lawyer colleges and conferences in America, being great friends with some of the top litigators in the country. She is one of the few female litigation attorneys in Virginia and takes no BS from the old guys and ways that die hard. Leila spent years in the trenches litigating tough cases and was forever passionate about the thousands of people who are injured in serious car accidents and never recover what is owed to them because of the legal regime when trying to prove damages in soft tissue cases. Settling these cases for reasonable amounts was almost impossible, and they were not always good cases to bring to trial when your practice is fighting for its life.
Leila never gave up and started winning large amounts in previously thought unwinnable trials. She researched every avenue to build a strong, soft tissue injury case and discovered some doctors who had found a way to objectively prove a soft tissue injury that caused serious and permanent impairment. This discovery and the subsequent record trial results gave birth to the Soft Tissue Injury Institute.
Leila now shares her knowledge and experience with other lawyers to help them overcome the insurmountable odds they face against insurance companies. She knows firsthand the struggles lawyers face and commits herself to helping Personal Injury lawyers secure better results for their clients who suffered soft tissue injuries.
Leila channels her life experiences and fierce fighting spirit into her work, helping lawyers win big in previously thought unwinnable or worthless cases. She is an inspiration to every lawyer who fought the good fight and came out smiling. Leila can be found mentoring young lawyers and speaking at legal conferences on trial strategies.

His exposure to high-level strategic thinking makes Phillip an exceptional asset in the quest for justice. Phillip earned a Masters Degree in Conflict Resolution and Culture, giving him powerful tools to navigate contentious issues and conflict situations. Phillip is a fierce advocate, critical thinker and staunch ally who manages to find a reason to love life every day despite the neverending battles he fights daily.
