Approach to Litigation

Not every case needs to go to trial—but you should be prepared if it does. We start with a careful review of your case, gather facts, and assess legal strengths and weaknesses. We’re direct, realistic, and focused on results—whether that means filing a lawsuit, defending against one, or resolving matters through mediation or settlement.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I have to sue to resolve my dispute?

    Not always. We often resolve cases through negotiation or demand letters before a lawsuit is filed. But if court becomes necessary, we’re ready to represent you.

  • How long does a civil lawsuit take in New York?

    It depends. Some cases settle in a few months. Others may take a year or more, especially if they go to trial. We’ll give you realistic timelines based on your case.

  • Can I recover legal fees if I win?

    Only if the contract or specific law allows it. We’ll review whether attorney’s fees are recoverable in your situation.

  • Do you represent both individuals and businesses?

    Yes. We regularly work with individuals, property owners, small business operators, and professionals across the NYC and Hudson Valley region.
