Commercial Litigation
We handle all manner of litigation for businesses, business owners, and individuals with significant assets at stake. We
regularly handle disputes involving commercial leases, insurance, noncompetes and other
commercial contracts; business breakups; partnership and corporate governance disputes; business tort claims involving breach of fiduciary duty,
theft of trade secrets, defamation, antirust and unfair trade practices; difficult issues of product liability and personal injury; attorney malpractice; and
litigation over trust and probate matters. We bring to bear sophisticated understanding of complex financial and legal issues, a keen ability to understand
factually complicated scenarios, boil them down to their essence and communicate difficult matters clearly and persuasively to courts and juries alike. We are
trial ready at all times, and find the best strategy for resolving cases -- whether they ultimately resolve by settlement or trial -- is to be prepared to
take them all the way to verdict, judgment or award. We have tried dozens of cases to final result, and kept our successes on appeal. And we have settled
hundreds of cases favorably, based on thorough preparation and readiness to go to court.
Family Law
We pride ourselves on providing assertive, efficient representation tied to a strategy tailored to the unique nature of each particular case. Our attorneys
recognize that every case is different, but that every case is deeply personal and profoundly important to you. Whether a case involves sophisticated,
high-stakes financial or business affairs, presents complicated child custody issues, involves complex emotional issues or is a less-complicated,
more straightforward divorce or custody matter, our attorneys recognize the importance of establishing and deploying a strategy that will enhance
your position, whether in settlement negotiations or at trial. It is in carrying out the strategy where our attorneys set themselves apart from others.
Our attorneys call on their trial and litigation skills honed over years of experience with virtually every possible type of divorce or family law matter
to best position your case for achieving the outcome you desire.
Mediation and Arbitration
Cliff and David are not only skilled advocates in arbitration and mediation. They have the skill set that experienced counsel
seek out in choosing arbitrators and mediators. When representing clients, we pride ourselves on the combination of sophistication and practicality we bring
to every representation to help clients identify successful solutions and strategies for achieving them. For over a decade, we have brought to bear that same
blend of sophistication and practicality as neutrals. We have the ability to understand complex legal, financial and other factual
issues, and the ability to find practical answers to the questions that difficult disputes pose. We can help you find a mutually agreeable negotiated solution
to your dispute, or help the parties try such a dispute to a fair and enforceable arbitral award with the confidentiality, efficiency and expertise that
parties seek in arbitration.
