I reach the best results for my clients by always being ready to fight hard in court. I find that the more I prepare for hearings and trials, the more likely the opposing party is to settle and avoid having those hearings against me. The result, ideally, is that my clients get the best possible settlement, while avoiding the risk and expense of protracted litigation.
