We regularly practice in federal and state courts throughout the country.
Regardless of the type of litigation, we understand that litigation can threaten to engulf a company. We litigate these types of “bet the company” cases frequently and are sensitive to the impact they can have on our clients’ businesses. Our experience and attention to detail enable us to focus on one goal: zealously representing our clients’ best interests. We often successfully litigate against state and federal agencies and law firms many times our size. Organizations like Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, and Martindale Hubbell frequently recognize our expertise. Countless lawyers can claim to be involved in “litigation.” We are trial lawyers.
