Our litigation department represents individual and business clients in a wide variety of cases and disputes before all Virginia state and federal courts:
- Commercial and business litigation including contract claims and shareholder disputes
- Real estate litigation including title issues, contract disputes, lease disputes, mechanic’s lien law and construction litigation
- Trust and estate litigation including will contests and disputes involving fiduciary duties
- Creditor’s rights, bankruptcy
- Civil appeals
Nobody wants to go to court if other reasonable options exist. Whenever appropriate we employ alternative dispute resolution, mediation and arbitration options to obtain an economically beneficial resolution for our clients. However, in our experience, a good settlement is often only possible after a good case is filed and initially prosecuted. As such, we take particular care in preparing and filing initial pleadings on behalf of our clients, and emphasize the importance of pre-trial motions practice and argument. If trial is necessary, our litigators offer experienced and thorough advocacy on behalf of our clients. We take an individualized approach that addresses each situation and each client’s needs on a case-by-case basis, and our focus and philosophy includes:
- Careful and thorough preparation and planning
- Efficient and professional negotiation of disputes and issues
- When necessary, aggressive advocacy before the court
We invite you to schedule an appointment for an informative initial consultation with one of our lawyers regarding litigation in Virginia state and federal courts.
