The firm takes pride in handling cases in the most aggressive, yet cost-effective way possible. In appropriate cases, this may include early mediation or working with the client and opposing counsel to reach settlement.

In many cases, this involves limiting discovery to that necessary to develop the facts needed to protect a client's interests and determine whether settlement or trial is the preferred alternative.
