Aggressive and Affordable Litigation
​
Unique and Atypical cases are not a problem. I have a history of taking difficult cases and turning them into victories.
​
Workable litigation budgets, tiered contingent fees (sometimes less than a third) and flat rate / capped hourly rate approaches possible in some cases.
​
Goals in litigation vary, but generally its about getting the other side to pay you money.
​
My approach to evaluating claims:
​
1. Does the other side have any ability to pay a judgment? If not, what is gained by proceeding?
​
2. Is the other legally liable for your claim(s)? If its questionable, meaning some Jurors might say yes and other no, its RISKY to committ all the way to trial, as a win is not assured.
​
3. Is the AMOUNT involved enough to risk the COST of litigation to get a judgment for that amount? If for example you pay me hourly, and 100 hours of time goes by for a bill of $30,000, does that make sense if the most your claim can get you is $25,000? Sometimes this depends on whether or not you have a basis to ALSO be awarded YOUR ATTORNEY FEES incurred to win the claim. Some laws allow that. In other cases, each side is responsible to pay their own legal counsel.
​
4. At the end of the day, the other side has a say in how complicated litigation is. You might have a "simple" case with easy proof, but if the other side makes a counterclaim involving a complicated fact pattern with many witnesses and a large pool of documents to review, this will take your attorney alot of time to defend against.
​
Knowing ALL of these factors up front is critical to your litigation success.
​
Sometimes, negotiation is best, or referral to some other Alternative Dispute Resolution procedure, like mediation or arbitration. Even if preferable, these approaches require a likeminded opponent, willing to try them. This is not always possible.
