Litigation

While our aim is always to reach a peaceful settlement, we recognize that some cases may require a more assertive approach. In the Litigation phase, which becomes necessary if parties do not settle in Phase 2, we rigorously engage in formal discovery, utilizing motions for temporary and other relief, conducting depositions, and seeking expert testimony when required. Your case is our priority, and we will navigate the complexities of the Litigation process with dedication and expertise
