Helping businesses and individuals successfully resolve disputes

-Business litigation

-Property damage

Put a strong defense attorney to work for you
The best way to deal with civil litigation is to develop a relationship with a law firm that will help you avoid it. We will advise you on how to establish sound practices and draft strong contracts to protect you. If you are facing a lawsuit, we will create a strong response within the limited legal timeline. We will arrive at the best negotiated solution, or go to bat for you at trial. We can help business owners navigate the court system and avoid some of the inherent disadvantages in the defense of these types of suits.
Working with clients to manage costs
We partner with clients to manage litigation costs. Our goal is to strengthen our clients' bottom line with prompt and cost-effective attention to each case. To save on costs, defense counsel can shift the burden of the cost of discovery to the plaintiff, among other tactics. We recognize and appreciate the need for prompt investigation and assessment of claim exposure and a preemptive, decisive and aggressive defense without losing sight of the goal of controlling the cost of claims.
