Our goal in every case is to provide effective and efficient counsel, representation and results. It is often the case that the client’s interests in a controversial matter are best served by an early financial settlement, in which case we do not hesitate to recommend an early resolution of the matter. However, when a legal dispute involves an issue of principle for a client, or has the potential to carry severe economic consequences, we put all our resources and litigation experience to work to achieve the best possible outcome of the case.
