Litigation
I
feel that litigation should be avoided if at all possible.
Litigation is expensive, time-consuming, emotionally
draining, and only one side can win. I handle many
kinds of disputes and make every effort to settle
them without having to go to trial. For example:
- Employment
– disability discrimination, failure to provide
Family and Medical Leave Act benefits, violations
of Fair Labor Standards Act
- Insurance
– failure to pay on a claim
- Will
contests – testator forced to change his will
- Elder
care – nursing home refuses to re-admit patient
after hospital stay
- Special
Education – school refuses to provide services
the child needs to learn
- Contract
- auto shop charged more than the estimate, roofer
did a horrible job
- Partnership
– partners have a fight and want to end the
business
- Landlord/Tenant
– landlord refuses to give credit against
the rent for work done by the tenant despite a verbal
agreement
I am frequently able to negotiate and come to an agreement that is satisfactory
to both sides without having to charge large fees.
