Approach
When disputes proceed to litigation, the firm provides an aggressive, vigorous response. When litigation is filed, we immediately assess both the facts and the law and then identify the strengths and weaknesses of the case. We then work closely with the client in order to develop the litigation strategy that best suits the client’s needs. Once a litigation strategy is set, we implement the strategy in the most cost effective manner possible.
We have litigated extensively before state and federal courts, arbitrators, and administrative tribunals in virtually all aspects of public workplace law. Our attorneys have an impressive record of success at knocking out lawsuits on summary judgment. Where it is necessary to go the distance, we have skilled trial lawyers who are at home in the courtroom and in front of juries.
