You’ve hit a wall in resolving a problem yourself. Maybe you have a dispute with a business partner, a problem on a project or an issue with getting paid for your services.  Perhaps you’ve been served with a lawsuit and need someone in your corner to protect your rights.

We strategically evaluate each case to determine whether court intervention is the best course of action.  When it is, we employ the most tactical approach to achieve a successful resolution, whether through trial or a negotiated settlement.  If you have been sued, we will explore and advise you of your rights and develop a plan to protect them to the fullest extent of the law.

Our attorneys are versed in civil  trial and appellate practice at both the state and federal levels.   Trial court decisions before and after trial may be appealed and are decided by higher courts known as appellate courts.  An appeal may seek to correct an error of the trial court judge or change the interpretation of existing law.  We will counsel you every step of the way through your case and provide the assurance of knowing that you have a knowledgeable and experienced team on your side.

Our civil litigation and appellate practice services include:

  • Business and Commercial
  • Construction
  • Business dissolution proceedings
  • Shareholder and partnership disputes
  • Antitrust and RICO
  • Securities fraud
  • Bankruptcy
  • Creditor’s rights
  • Employment
  • Environmental
  • ERISA
  • Insurance (defense and coverage disputes)
  • Labor
  • Personal Injury
