Bundled Services
Traditionally, firms are responsible for managing every aspect of a case from the time the firm is retained until the matter has been resolved. This is what we refer to as our bundled services. The vast majority of our representation involves bundles services and we have found that this tends to be the best fit for our clients in attempting to resolve their legal matters.
Unbundled Services
Unbundled services, also referred to as legal ghostwriting, is a service whereby an attorney drafts a document on behalf of a client without formally appearing before the court. Instead, the client represents his or herself pro se. Traditionally, firms have been responsible for managing every aspect of a case from the time the firm is retained until the matter has been completely resolved. But, in the case of legal ghostwriting, attorneys can help clients file documents if they prefer to represent themselves.
Individual Practice Areas
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation is the term used for a legal dispute that has occurred involving two or more parties seeking money damages or a specific performance, in comparison to criminal sanctions.
We specialize in civil litigation, and represent clients in hearings, trials, arbitrations and mediations before administrative agencies, federal, state and local courts. Civil courts handle a wide variety of cases involving numerous legal issues. Very broadly, civil cases may involve such things as, for example,
