As a business owner for over 30 years, I know many of the issues and challenges facing small to medium sized businesses today.  Since budgets are tight, owners have a tendency to wait until a problem arises.  That may have been an acceptable strategy 20 years ago, but can be fatal today.  A single lawsuit can cripple a business and distract owners and key employees for months.  We try to establish long term relationships with our clients so that we can anticipate issues and deal with them before they become problems.  Accordingly, we regularly meet with our clients to ensure they are fully protected.  We encourage anyone interested in this approach to call us and see if we are a good fit.

Although I have won over 95% of my cases that go to trial and arbitration, I pride myself on being able to favorably settle cases for my clients without having to go to trial or arbitration.  I do whatever I can to keep my client’s fees and costs as low as possible while still getting my clients the results they want.  Many times my fees end up being about half as much as the fees charged by the big firms representing other defendants on the same case.. Just because I don’t charge as much as the big firms charge does not mean I am not highly qualified.  Even before I attended law school, my abilities in the legal area were given high regard by some of the best attorneys in the country.  While working as the defense team law clerk on a highly publicized case, (U.S. v. Paul Castellano) I was given letters of recommendation from the lead prosecutors who were on the opposite side of the case.. After attending Southwestern University School of Law on a Full Tuition Scholarship, I was hired by a very good civil litigation firm.  The partners of Daniels, Baratta and Fine quickly showed great faith in my abilities when they allowed me to try my first case for a very wealthy business man and his wife against claims by their former maid that the wife beat up the maid.  The maid sought punitive damages which are not covered by insurance.  At the time, the firm had a strict policy that only partners could try cases where punitive damages were sought.  In the first day of trial, a priest testified that the wife admitted to beating up the maid.  The Judge then ordered me to advise the senior partner of the firm that the Judge believed the defendants could not prevail because jurors do not disregard the testimony of priests.  After the Plaintiff failed to take a large settlement offer made against my advice, I obtained a favorable verdict for my clients by convincing the jurors the priest was not truthful.  Please see my website for more info on my trials and settlements.  Feel free to call me for a free consultation.
