Services
Aggressive and Effective Representation - Our goal is to settle every case on terms favorable to you.
Settlements keep your fate in your hands, and are less costly and less stressful than trials.
However, for a strong settlement posture to be effective, it must often be backed by a credible litigation threat.
If push comes to shove, we are willing and able to advocate vigorously for you in court.
We also handle appeals, both for cases we tried and cases referred to us for appeal by other lawyers.
