Extensive trial experience and strong relationships in the legal community enable us to prepare your case for trial at the same time that we are negotiating for settlement.  While a fair and equitable settlement is always our goal, the only way to know for sure that a settlement is fair and ensure that we are in a position to negotiate is to be prepared for trial.  We see the judges and their staff all the time, and we make sure to remain current on court requirements and the law to ensure you the best service possible.
