Results

The firm has achieved results that have been nothing less than phenomenal in cases of every size from getting small matters (less than $25,000) pending in unfavorable jurisdictions settled for much less than the cost of defense and in a quick, no hassle manner, to obtaining complete dismissal of matters involving tens of millions of dollars without the client paying anything to the other side.

In many instances, the firms we are pitted against dwarf us in size – but certainly not in talent or in litigation instinct. Many opponents have underestimated our abilities in the litigation arena by equating our relatively small size to a mistaken belief that we could be bulldozed by heavy handed tactics and buried under a mound of discovery. We have employed smart strategy and tactics, big-firm type technology, and a sheer will to win in order to overcome the masses of lawyers and paralegals that are typically assigned on huge pieces of litigation.
