I am a litigation attorney with over 20 yeasrs proven courtroom experience.   Although not every case goes to court, you need to make sure you are picking an attorney who will go to court if that what is needed.   If you prepare to win your case, then you are in the best possible position.   If you don't prepare to win, then you are almost certainly preparing to lose..

Choosing the right lawyer will make a difference in the outcome of any case.  An experienced lawyer will be able to help their clients get better results in their case.  Being a party to a lawsuit can be upsetting and disruptive.  Pushing cases through the civil justice system can be frustrating, expensive, and unpredicatble.  Despite its shortcomings, our country's judicial syatem is ultimately fair.  A traditional jury trial is the very best way to resolve an otherwise unresolvable civil dispute.  I know that the lawyer handling any given case will make a difference in the outcome of a case.  Good lawyers make a case better. Bad lawyers make a case worse.  I am fortunate to work with a group of dedicated and talanted lawyers and staff at Duffy & Young.  Through hard work, careful preparation, and thoughtfulness we have been able to help our clients for more than a decade.
