Litigation

The firm’s primary goal is to assist clients in avoiding litigation whenever possible. We use alternative dispute resolution services, mediation, and arbitration as a means of solving clients’ legal challenges particularly when the parties are trying to preserve a commercial relationship; however, when litigation is unavoidable, the lawyers at FB Attorneys will guide its clients through both the legal and commercial aspects of litigation, including an assessment of reputational risk, if any.

Our team then devises optimum procedural tactics or alternate forms of settlement. We have handled high profile litigation cases for major corporations and high net worth individuals.

Our attorneys have successfully represented clients in a variety of courts around the country. We have also effectively handled general defamation suits, personal injury, and medical negligence claims.

FB Attorneys subscribes to a philosophy that equates a strong litigation team with a thorough understanding of corporate practice. These lawyers are passionate about challenging cases whose complex details only serve to further enhance the team’s technical expertise and, hence, solid reputation.
