Our dedication, knowledge, and experience enable us to represent our clients with alacrity, whether in court or at the negotiation table.
If there is a distinction (as we often hear) between a litigator and a trial lawyer, we are trial lawyers, dedicated to the defense of tort claims. Our practice includes but is not limited to the following types of claims: Medical Malpractice, Product Liability, Premises Liability, Motor Vehicle Law, Workers’ Compensation, Commercial Litigation including Contract Litigation and Mass Tort, Insurance/Bad Faith, Nursing Home Defense, Professional Licensure Defense, Legal Malpractice, Real Estate Defense, Trucking Negligence and Federal and State Appeals.
In the recent past, we have successfully represented nationally renowned physicians, hospitals, product manufacturers, government bodies, individual home and motor vehicle owners, local and national businesses, and numerous insurance companies in need of conflict resolution.
