Our Approach

Our Approach

Elevating Client Experiences to Achieve Effective Results

Every client is different; each dispute is unique. Because our client’s matters are important to them, they are important to us. Whether the issue is straightforward and can be easily resolved, or a complex tangle that will take time and effort to unravel and resolve, our focus is on working closely with our clients to attain the best possible outcome.

This begins by helping clients to identify their goals to determine what path forward they will be most comfortable with. In each case our approach is to minimize the stress of a dispute by helping clients understand the overall process for dispute resolution and the available options open to them. It is our firm belief that if you, the client, understand everything that may happen, you will be prepared to respond calmly and wisely should we encounter any of the twists or turns that frequently come up in litigation.

Together, we determine the best course of action, project the expected — and unexpected — events and obstacles that may arise, and execute the plan, adapting as needed. Some clients are best served by taking an aggressive position in litigation, while others will be happier pursuing a negotiated resolution. Sometimes, taking both paths simultaneously is most effective. Whichever path we choose, our presence on both sides of the courtroom has given us experience successfully steering our clients through a wide range of obstacles.

One of the most important things we’ve learned is that too often, the only people who win in litigation are the lawyers. And while we’re happy to earn money doing what we love, we always prioritize the best interests of our clients, which means our first goal is always to bring opposing parties to a resolution without going to court. However, if all efforts fail and that is the last recourse, we are fully prepared to vigorously pursue our clients’ cases before judge and jury.

Over the years, we’ve come up against everything that can happen in dispute resolution, each of us garnering specific skills and knowledge while developing individual approaches. Together, we effectively blend aggressiveness with equanimity and determination with flexibility, creating a balance that effectively advocates for our clients’ interests and objectives.
