Today we’d like to introduce you to Usman “Oz” Fazli.
Hi Usman “Oz”, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I started my legal career in personal injury in 2001, training at one of the largest PI firms in the country, Morgan & Morgan. That experience gave me a strong foundation in how high-volume litigation works and, more importantly, how systems and discipline drive results.
From there, I intentionally moved through smaller and mid-sized firms to deepen my hands-on experience. I handled cases from intake to resolution, worked directly with clients, negotiated with insurers, and learned what actually moves a case forward. Over time, I realized that many firms grow large but lose the personal accountability that clients deserve.
That realization led me to start my own firm. I built it with a simple philosophy: work every case as if it is the only case, return client calls, and exhaust every possible avenue of recovery. I focus on quality over volume, smart case strategy, and long-term client trust. Many of my clients return or refer family and friends, which tells me we are doing something right.
Today, I run a focused personal injury practice with the mindset of both a trial lawyer and a business owner. I continue to refine systems, train my team, and raise standards because I believe good lawyering requires both legal skill and disciplined execution.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It has not been a smooth road at all. Building a law practice comes with constant challenges, especially when you choose quality and accountability over shortcuts.
Early on, one of the biggest struggles was workload and resources. I often handled more than I should have because I wanted to personally protect every client’s case. That meant long hours, pressure, and learning how to delegate without sacrificing standards.
Another challenge was building the right team. Hiring, training, and retaining people who understand that this is not just a job but a responsibility to clients took time. There were setbacks, turnover, and hard lessons about leadership, systems, and expectations.
Financial uncertainty was also real, especially in contingency-fee work where you invest heavily upfront with no guarantee of recovery. You learn discipline, patience, and risk management quickly.
There were moments of doubt, but each struggle forced growth. Over time, those challenges shaped how I run the firm today. I am more intentional, more structured, and more selective. The struggles did not slow the journey. They defined it and made the practice stronger.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
My firm is a focused personal injury practice that represents people injured through no fault of their own, primarily in car accident and serious injury cases. We protect clients from insurance companies and handle cases with preparation, discipline, and a clear strategy from day one.
We are known for doing the work that billboard firms often do not. We do not run cases on volume, hand files off to layers of staff, or push quick settlements just to close numbers. Every case is built carefully, all insurance coverage is pursued, and clients know who their lawyer is and can reach them.
What sets us apart is ownership and accessibility. Clients are not a file number or a marketing statistic. Their calls get returned, deadlines are taken seriously, and cases are handled as if the outcome actually matters, because it does.
Brand-wise, I am most proud that our firm grows through referrals and repeat clients, not flashy ads or slogans. We are not trying to be everywhere. We are focused on being effective, credible, and prepared. If someone hires us, they get a real lawyer doing real legal work, not a billboard.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
Luck has played a role, but never a decisive one. I have had moments of good timing and opportunities that opened doors, and I have also had bad breaks, setbacks, and situations completely outside my control.
What I have learned is that luck only matters if you are prepared for it. Good luck helps only when you have the systems, discipline, and work ethic to capitalize on it. Bad luck exposes weaknesses and forces you to tighten operations, make better decisions, and get more resilient.
In this business, relying on luck is dangerous. Cases are won through preparation, consistency, and persistence. Over time, I have found that what people call “luck” is usually the result of showing up every day, doing the unglamorous work, and staying in the game long enough for opportunities to compound.
