Civil Litigation

 

The firm has a wide range of experience suited to many kinds of civil litigation. 

​

The foundation of our success is client communication.  We request all the information relevant to the dispute at the beginning.  Then we read and analyze the file, asking our client about the facts and circumstances surrounding the dispute. 

 

The firm’s attorneys prepare a factual summary and, in many lawsuits, a draft chronology for the client to review and correct.  We review applicable statutes and court precedent, determining what a range of likely results will be if the case goes to trial.  We look for exceptions in the law, little things that might change the outcome of the dispute.

 

The firm’s rigorous approach leads to an early and accurate evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of each side’s position.  It enhances the probability of success and avoids surprises as the case progresses.  In addition, the client receives an objective appraisal at the inception of the case, which creates a foundation for strategic discussion and decision-making.

 

We have handled civil litigation matters in the following areas:

​

• Breach of contract

• Fraud, concealment and negligent misrepresentation

Our experience in litigating civil disputes improves our client’s case. Usually, we can find a smart approach to lead to a favorable result.  If the other side is not reasonable, our firm provides tough and focused representation with the simple goal of winning the lawsuit.
