Business and Commercial Litigation

If you are involved in a business or commercial dispute that is headed for court, there is no better weapon on your side than me. A losing judgment can have a devastating impact on your business, your income and the goodwill and reputation that your business has established. I always provide a valuable cost-benefit analysis to help you decide whether or not you should risk going to trial.

I have been providing litigation and trial expertise to clients for years. More than anything else, I understands the true value of both your time and mine. While many business litigation attorneys understand the value of a billable hour, I understand the full scope of time, as it relates to business litigation. I am focused on giving our clients the full value of every hour you invest in litigation so that such time will successfully resolve your case.

My trial experience is invaluable, whether or not your case actually goes to trial. Even when we litigate a business dispute with the goal of settlement, or to avoid trial, my practice’s trial experience gives us a big advantage because opposing attorneys and their clients recognize that the “threat of trial” is always there with with me. Always remember: time is of the essence if you are being sued, thinking about filing a lawsuit, or are at risk of being sued.
Lawsuits not only cost you money in legal fees and potential judgments, they also can lead to harmful potential effects on your business in terms of potential injunctions, added stress, reputational harm, and the stressful effects on business owners and management. Our business and commercial litigation lawyers consider all of these factors when aggressively advocating business litigation disputes.

Many businesspeople do not know that contracts do not have to be in writing to be valid. I have represented numerous businesses in contract disputes involving written contracts, as well as, implied and oral contracts, for several years.

One aspect of my practice is that I represent business clients in corporate dissolutions and partnership disputes. In my experience, partnership dissolution and corporate dissolution can occur whether a business is profitable and successful or if the business is performing poorly and losing money. Partnership disputes and corporate dissolutions are usually heated because of the emotional factors involved. They are often complex because no one is really sure about what the details of partnership agreements or shareholder agreements are- until there is an actual lawsuit or threat of litigation. This is when my knowledge of business law and experience with business litigation is most valuable to my clients.

I also have years of business litigation experience in representing clients involved in contract disputes related to suppliers, manufacturers, vendors, independent contractors, sales, service contracts and professional contracts.
