Our attorneys have the substantive legal and practical expertise to defend your company through trial and, if necessary, on appeal.
Our business clients include large and small companies and their owners, shareholders, officers, directors and employees. They come to us for our breadth of knowledge and experience and our focus on litigation as an efficient and affordable system of resolving disputes.
The disputes we handle are as varied as our clients. Sometimes, litigation can be avoided by providing advise to a client in a telephone call for which we do not even send a bill. Usually a focused application of greater force is required. And sometimes litigation requires the full commitment of a team of attorneys at trial of complex cases.
Keeping our clients successful is the key to our success. That means finding the most efficient and economical solution to our clients problems. At some law firms litigation takes on a life of its own when multiple associates are assigned to work on cases without a deep understanding of what exactly needs is to be accomplished. That is acceptable to some large firm clients, but fewer all the time and it is not the way we practice law.
Cases we litigate include those with claims of: fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, misappropriation of trade secrets, non-competition agreements, breach of contract, copyright and trademark violations, environmental contamination, real estate and land use disputes, banking disputes/lender liability and wrongful foreclosure, insurance coverage, OSHA violations, product liability, consumer protection and nationwide product recalls.
