Criminal & Litigation
Litigation — civil & criminal
When a dispute cannot be settled, it has to be won. Preparation, candor, and courtroom representation on the civil and criminal side alike.
Most disputes settle. The ones that do not end up in a courtroom, and the outcome there is usually decided long before the first witness is called — in the discovery that was pushed for, the motions that were filed, and the preparation nobody sees.
The firm handles litigation on both the civil and the criminal side. You will get an honest read on your position before the first filing, and a realistic picture of what seeing it through will take.

Common questions
Will my case actually go to trial?
Most civil disputes resolve before trial. The paradox is that the cases prepared most thoroughly for trial tend to settle on the best terms — the other side can see what is coming.
What does litigation cost?
It depends on how far the dispute goes. You will get a straight answer and a realistic range at the outset — and honest advice if settling early is genuinely your better outcome.
