Personalized and Efficient Legal Services

We vigorously represent our clients throughout all phases of the dispute resolution process, whether in pre-litigation settlement discussions, in mediation or, if necessary, through litigation. Our attorneys are skilled advocates and trial lawyers. We are experienced in handling a variety of cases through private arbitration, state or federal court, through trial and on appeal. Many of our cases are referred by lawyers at other law firms whom we know and with whom we have worked with in the past. We believe that we are capable of working effectively with opposing counsel to achieve positive outcomes for our clients.

In each matter, we provide an initial assessment and review of the facts and materials and discuss options for a potential resolution with our clients. Each case is unique and we collaborate and work closely with our clients to identify their goals and to implement an efficient and cost-effective strategy for achieving them. We also work with our clients on alternative fee arrangements, which may include an hourly, contingent rate or a mixed billing rate.
