Litigation can be costly and time consuming. The early resolution of disputes can keep clients out of court by focusing on the needs of the client rather than the contest of litigation. When the cost of settlement exceeds the risk of litigation, however, we are ready to try cases locally and nationally in State, Federal and Tax Courts and Arbitration proceedings. Our concentration on trial and appellate advocacy has allowed our litigation attorneys to develop a knowledgeable, efficient approach to case management, litigation and alternative dispute resolution including arbitration and mediation. We carefully evaluate our client’s rights, claims and interests by thoroughly investigating the facts and circumstances of each case, developing a sound and reasoned case strategy, and implementing a coordinated and comprehensive case management plan and budget. Our experience enables us to focus our efforts productively, eliminating wasted efforts and expensive learning curves. The plan identifies required activities, targets dates for completion, and projects costs for each phase. Status reports succinctly analyze the information learned and its overall affect on the case. We prepare our clients for each phase of the arbitration, mediation or trial to ensure that the client can make critical decisions and effectively participate in the proceeding.

Decisions to bring, defend or settle proceedings can protect rights and preserve wealth. Litigation decisions can make a difference. So does the trial attorney you choose.
