Civil Litigation
Strategic litigation for plaintiffs and claimants
Our Approach
Early Case Assessment
We evaluate merits, damages, and cost-benefit before committing to litigation.
Aggressive Discovery
Depositions, document requests, and interrogatories to build evidence and find the truth.
Settlement Negotiation
Most cases settle. We negotiate aggressively and don't leave money on the table.
Trial Readiness
We prepare every case for trial. Opposing parties know we're serious.
What We Handle
Contract Disputes
Breach, enforcement, and interpretation of commercial contracts.
Real Estate Litigation
Boundary disputes, title issues, construction defects, and landlord-tenant.
Fraud & Misrepresentation
Fraudulent statements in contracts, real estate, or business dealings.
Fiduciary Duty & Partnership
Self-dealing, breach of duty, and partner conflicts.
Commercial Collections
Unpaid invoices and enforcement of payment obligations.
Construction Disputes
Defective work, payment disputes, and mechanics lien enforcement.
Common Questions
It depends on complexity and whether it settles or goes to trial. We handle some cases on contingency. For others, we bill hourly or use hybrid arrangements. We discuss fees upfront and estimate costs based on your case.
We evaluate objectively. If the other side offers fair value, settlement is smart. If they lowball, we fight. We calculate likely trial recovery and compare it to settlement offers. Your interests drive the decision.
Litigation is court with a judge (sometimes jury). Arbitration is private and often faster, but you give up jury rights and most appeals. If your contract requires arbitration, we pursue that avenue. Otherwise, we advise on the best forum.
