Litigation Attorneys
We are litigation attorneys. We are often referred to as “Pit Bulls.” We take that as a compliment. Perhaps this title has been bestowed upon us because of our passion for seeing that our clients receive justice. We fight for you. We protect your legal rights. We are loyal. We are strong.

Our attorneys fight for victims against bullies. It is common to be asked, “What will happen if I don’t hire an attorney?” We often respond, “Then the biggest bully will likely win.” People then become upset and feel that the “justice system” is failing our country.
We sometimes feel that the system is unfair as well. However, we realize that the system of justice is designed as an “adversarial” system. This means that the judge (sometimes passively) listens to each side and then makes a decision. If one side presents facts in a biased favorable light, the other side must know how to show the judge the reasons that the “biased” viewpoint is not to be trusted. If no one contradicts the biased evidence, the judge is justified in ruling based on that evidence.
Litigators advocate in this process–putting forth the evidence to support the judge’s decision in their party’s favor. Without the litigator, the bully wins.
Here are some of the areas where our litigation attorneys can provide guidance and representation:
Civil litigation: A litigation attorney can represent individuals or businesses in civil disputes, such as breach of contract, personal injury claims, property disputes, and employment litigation.
Commercial litigation: A litigation attorney can assist with disputes between businesses, such as breach of contract, partnership disputes, and shareholder disputes.
Class action lawsuits: A litigation attorney can represent individuals in a class action lawsuit, which is a type of lawsuit where a large group of people collectively bring a claim against a defendant.
Appeals: A litigation attorney can assist with appeals of court decisions, including preparing and filing appellate briefs and arguing before appellate courts.
Mediation and arbitration: A litigation attorney can represent clients in alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and arbitration, to help them reach a settlement.
Discovery: A litigation attorney can assist with the discovery process, which is the process of obtaining evidence and information related to a legal case.
Pretrial motions: A litigation attorney can file pretrial motions, such as motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and motions to exclude evidence.
Trial: A litigation attorney can represent clients in court and present evidence and arguments to support their case.
Settlement negotiations: A litigation attorney can negotiate with the other party to try to reach a settlement before trial.
Enforcement of judgments: A litigation attorney can assist with enforcing judgments, which is the process of collecting a monetary award or enforcing a court order.
