When cases must go to hearing or trial, our extensive litigation skill and trial experience are employed vigorously and proactively to benefit our clients.  Family economic and personal issues unique to the client’s situation are aggressively and professionally advocated. 

Financial and other relevant circumstances of the opposing party are thoroughly investigated.  In addition, consulting experts (CPAs, financial planners, property appraisers, investigators, mental health professionals and others) can be marshaled to clarify issues and assist us in effectively representing the client’s interest in court. 

The combination of thorough preparation and discovery, solid legal research, sensitivity to the client’s needs and goals, and aggressive advocacy combined with a reasonable and constructive approach to settlement has served our clients well.  In a surprising number of cases, this approach serves as a catalyst for negotiation and ultimate resolution without the need for trial. 

Litigation is not inexpensive.  We recognize that for most clients, cost is a very significant concern.  We constantly strive for the most efficient means to achieve our client’s goals.  At the same time, we work with clients to analyze the relative costs versus benefits of various litigation strategies.  We strongly believe that it is the client who should have the final say in determining the best way to proceed in his/her case.

Our reputation for strong, honest and effective advocacy is perhaps measured best by the fact that many of our clients have been referred by prior clients, former opposing litigants and opposing counsel.
