Over the years we have had the privilege of representing many clients in a variety of legal disputes.
In most cases, legal disputes are resolved when the parties involved reach a mutual settlement instead of going to trial. This is usually the preferable conflict resolution scenario because it allows each party to control the outcome and it is often more cost-effective than going to trial. Obtaining a settlement requires strategic thinking, accurate and timely legal advice, and solid advocacy designed to support the parties involved in making informed decisions.
Unfortunately, not all legal disputes can be settled. In some cases, the parties require a judge or arbitrator to solve their dispute. We are proud of the success our firm has enjoyed in the courtroom. Here are just a few of the cases in which we have been involved.
