Civil Litigation
Strategic representation in business, real property, and trust disputes — in state and federal courts.
Overview
Litigation is the consequence of a breakdown — in a contract, a partnership, a fiduciary relationship, a transaction. We approach each case as both a legal and a strategic problem: what does the client need to achieve, by when, at what cost, and in what posture relative to the other side after the dust settles?
Our approach
Disciplined preparation and disciplined judgment. We pressure-test the case from the other side's perspective before we file, identify the two or three questions on which the matter will actually turn, and shape discovery and motion practice around those questions. Settlement, mediation, trial — we use the tool that fits the result.

Frequently asked
Common questions
- Will you evaluate a case before I commit to filing?
- Yes. We routinely provide pre-litigation assessments — including likely cost, timeline, and the strongest counter-arguments — before any complaint is drafted.
- Do you handle appeals?
- We handle appellate matters arising from cases we tried, and selectively take appeals brought to us by other counsel.
- Are you open to mediation or arbitration?
- Always. The right forum is a strategic choice, not an ideological one.
