Let’s face it: nobody likes litigation. It wastes time and money. It creates risk and anxiety. It is truly the dispute-resolution mechanism of last resort.

As a litigator, my goal is to resolve your dispute while making the process humane and tolerable for you. Everyone has a different taste for the risk, time and money a lawsuit can require. I stay mindful of your parameters.

I don’t sell false hope. I will give you an honest appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of your case. I will explain the costs and benefits of various options for resolving the dispute (including non-judicial options).
