Our Philosophy: There are few cases than cannot and should not be settled. However, when all efforts to negotiate a satisfactory settlement have been exhausted, resort to the Courts may be necessary. In that event, it is critical that you be represented by experienced civil litigation counsel. Not all attorneys venture into the courtroom, and trial lawyers comprise a fraction of practicing lawyers. In the event you have a claim against another party, whether it arises out of a contractual or business relationship or from an intentional or negligent act which causes injury to you, there are various methods short of litigation that can be employed to resolve the dispute. If direct settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, prospective litigants can employ a mediator or settlement facilitator to assist them in reaching an accord. Mediation is not binding on the parties; rather it introduces into the settlement discussions an independent, third-party voice. On the other hand, if parties agree to binding arbitration, they will be bound by the decision of the arbitrator. Sometimes parties will agree to resolution of disputes by arbitration in their contract, thereby avoiding litigation. Whether you are a plaintiff or defendant, hiring a qualified civil litigation attorney is crucial in achieving a successful outcome in your case. The firm represents plaintiffs and defendants including individuals, partnerships, shareholders and corporations in various types of cases: - Breach of contract
