We bring thoughtful expertise to every matter.

You might expect a modestly sized law firm to have limited areas of focus. But we are knowledgeable in a breadth of legal matters. We are passionate about the law and look for creative, practical solutions to every problem.

 

Mediation & Arbitration

Strategies to get opposing sides going in the same direction.

We have the experience and integrity parties need to help resolve matters without the expense and stress of a trial. Our services are available to parties who need an impartial third party skilled in the arts of diplomacy and fair negotiation to mediate their cases.

Our mediation process is structured and confidential, allowing complete openness in airing complaints and seeking resolution.

We also provide arbitration services for parties seeking a neutral arbiter with many years of experience trying cases for both plaintiffs and defendants. The parties may adopt rules promulgated by the American Arbitration Association or another arbitration service or agree to their own rules of procedure. In addition to this control over the process, parties who use our arbitration services avoid the delay, possibility of negative precedent and public nature of proceeding in a court of law.

Consumer and Business Practices

Representation for consumers and business owners.

The most important thing businesses can build with their customers is trust — it creates repeat customers and referrals for new ones. But sometimes consumers are victimized by deceptive trade practices or businesses get falsely accused. That’s when you need the help of a knowledgeable business litigation attorney to make sure your rights are fully protected.

We have the skills and years of courtroom experience in protecting and preserving the rights of our clients in business litigation and consumer protection cases. With our courtroom trial record, you can count on a team that will aggressively pursue justice as we guide your case through the legal system.

Our experience includes:

  • Deceptive trade practices

  • Unfair debt collection

  • False advertising

Trade Secrets

Protect your innovations with ours.

Intellectual property forms the core value of most every enterprise. Our attorneys can help you protect what makes your business unique and valuable: trade secrets.

We are experienced in defense and prosecution of trade secret lawsuits. We also conduct trade secret audits and provide other counseling to protect trade secrets, such as drafting non-competes and non-disclosure agreements.

Employment & Labor

Make your company a great place to work.

Everyone enjoys a conflict-free workplace, but human nature can sometimes interfere. And therein lies the potential for employer exposure and liability. We can help you protect your business and workforce and make your company a better place to work. We provide services designed to prevent conflicts, including employment law counseling, training, audits, and independent investigations.

We can also help draft and implement workplace policies that encompass today’s hottest topics: electronic communications and social media. In many ways, we act as an extension of our client’s human resources and legal departments, adding efficiencies and efficacy by acting as national counsel.

If conflict is unavoidable, clients can rely on our skill and experience in court and arbitration.

Product Liability

We’ll help make things right.

With today’s design and technology advancements, society enjoys many of the finest and safest products ever built. But along with products come risks and liabilities. We are here to help designers, engineers, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, retailers, and others who make products available to the public manage risk in a way that protects their customers and their businesses.

Sometimes products are manufactured with inferior-materials or poor workmanship, or contain design defects that make them inherently dangerous no matter how well-built they are. As a result, they fail to meet expectations for what constitutes a safe product.

We also provide counsel and representation for consumers whose experience with products is inconsistent with promises, claims, and warranties made by their makers or sellers. In some cases, injuries or damages have been caused by products, negligence or breach of warranty.

We have experience with suits involving all types of products, from steel pipe used for transporting gasoline to medical devices, personal care products, and food supplements.
