Our attorneys are first and foremost litigators. We handle cases in many areas of civil litigation, with formal practice groups in the areas of commercial, construction, employment, environmental, insurance, landlord-tenant, auto-UM, non-profit, premises, products, professional errors & omissions, and real estate and real property litigation. We also have comprehensive insurance and non-profit practice groups. Although highly successful at trial, we recognize that early resolution often meets our clients' objectives. One of our strengths is the early and accurate evaluation of all matters. This allows us to work with clients in meeting their business objectives through the most cost effective strategy. 

We are particularly proud of a client base which expects timely reporting, reasonable billing, and consistently excellent results. Representative clients include The Gap, Inc., Cincinnati Insurance, Pizza Hut, Inc., KFC, Taco Bell Corp., American International Group, First Financial Insurance Company, Financial Pacific Insurance Company, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, Sears, Williams-Sonoma, Dynacraft Industries, Golden Gate Fields, Precision Risk Management, Penn America Insurance Company, Liberty Mutual Insurance, Unitrin Insurance, United National Insurance Company, Atlas Insurance, Global Indemnity Insurance and Transguard Insurance. The firm values the attorney-client relationship and provides seminars, research and additional resources to clients without charge.
