Business clients are best served by creative solutions that make good business sense because the time and money a business pours into litigation is time and money that the business can never really recover. Trust litigation can cause lasting damage to the family structure and drain the assets that parents spent their lifetimes building. Over my 34 years as a trial lawyer, I have seen that, whatever the merits of a dispute, far too often only the lawyers come out ahead. That is why before a case is filed and throughout the litigation process, I look for opportunities to achieve a constructive resolution negotiated from a position of strength. That strength derives from close collaboration with my clients as we develop litigation strategies that are both cost effective and outcome driven. My client base consists of middle tier businesses, entrepreneurs and investors who desire the personalized level of service distinctive to smaller-sized firms.
