Cost Effective Litigation Representation

Contingent fees for many types of cases.

​

I believe that the decision to enter into litigation should be made like any other business decision: 

Does it make sense to invest your time and money into a case?

​

I see the lawyer's role as letting you know the costs, risks and potential rewards of litigation.

​

Once the decision to litigate is made the matter should be aggressively prosecuted according to a well thought out plan of action.  A good attorney should not allow his client to be surprised during the process of the litigation.

​

I have a history of taking difficult cases and turning them into victories:

:

​

Eliminating liens on an elderly client's home obtained by contractors in violation of the law 

No cost to the client, all my attorney fees were paid by the defendants

​

Recovering a six figure sum for a woman falsely accused of having venereal disease

​

Recovering six figure sum from sellers / brokers for misrepresentations made to buyer in connection with the sale of a home

​

Recovering six figure settlement for romantic partner at the end of long term non-marital relationship (Marvin Action)

​

Recovering six figure sum for defrauded investors in a real estate investment gone bad

​

Recovering six figure attorneys fees to law firm owed money by client long before a trial using a powerful collection tool, the prejudgment writ of attachment. 

​

As important as these litigated / settled cases are, equally important are the far more numerous cases that I have talked people out of filing:

​

Cases that are way too late and would be defeated by a statute of limitations

​

Cases where the defendants appear to have no assets able to satisfy any judgment that might be obtained

​

Cases where the risk of a loss would be financially devastating and unacceptable to the client

​

I get no money from such cases, but that is as it should be.  If a case has value, we can both make money together.  if it doesn't, it should not be brought.
