Client-Oriented and Results-Driven Business Solutions
Business Litigation
Extensive, Experienced, Client-Oriented and Results-Driven Business Solutions
Our Experience
Our attorneys have substantial experience in business litigation matters including the pre-suit stage as well as the jury trial and appellate stage. Litigation is part of the business arena and proper guidance by seasoned attorneys is critical in order to avoid unpredictable and distracting results. This is especially true in “Bet the Company” lawsuits that are common. These suits are frequently an “all-in” strategy when one party is completely reliant upon the results. Whether it is a case that involves substantial amounts or smaller claims, understanding the client’s business and goals are necessary to create a sound strategy.
Our attorneys are highly recognized by their peers and clients in the Bar Registry of Preeminent Lawyers, AV Martindale Hubbell, A.M. Best and as “Top 100 Trial Lawyers.” Their experience in the courtroom and industry representations is unique. They have an understanding of all aspects of the courtroom and jury. They have represented clients across multiple industries in the advertising business and financial services, construction, consumer products, health care, hospitality, international trade, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, product distribution, real estate development, retail, securities, technology and information industries.
Defining Goals
Our approach to litigation starts first with understanding the client’s business, the dispute and an initial assessment of definable goals. Understanding the details of a situation by partners is a key to success. We use associates and paralegal help for routine matters, but our partners assigned to a case search for the hidden details and strive to keep the client’s interest first.
Predictive Results
While there are no guarantees, being prepared from the inception of a situation helps the client to have some predictability in resolutions and success. We prepare cases to be trial ready from the start in order to help the client achieve the success with the defined client goals. We believe every problem has a resolution. Our attorneys take the approach to set realistic defined goals so that predictive results can be obtained. It is a matter of commitment, listening and understanding the client’s business.
We have arrived at substantial success handling cases from start to finish at the jury trial or even appellate stage, and in mediation when it has been ideal.

Have you ever seen an out parcel next to a shopping area with no access. Only to see the neighboring out parcel with access for its customers from the shopping center. It probably happened that way because the end-user of the open parcel end-user had a lawyer that paid attention to details. The lawyer for the blocked end-user probably took no time to negotiate, offer advice or look at the details.
We like to think of our services as full service similar to a 1950′s gas station. We want to be complete in service, detail oriented, problem solving, client driven in every way with exceptional value.
