Case management is the key to a successful litigation practice, and the trial lawyers of Rodi Pollock emphasize that approach. At the outset, we review the facts and law pertinent to a case, the merits of the client's position and the projected fees and costs. In doing so we attempt to evaluate the merits of the client's position and the alternative approaches to resolving the conflict.
We offer our clients extensive trial experience. We appear regularly in state and federal trial and appellate courts, and before arbitration tribunals and administrative agencies in a wide range of substantive areas. We have found that through superior trial preparation and focus we can achieve an excellent pre-trial settlement or, after a trial, a verdict or decision in our client's favor.
Most cases ultimately are settled before trial because our client (or the client's adversary) wishes to avoid the uncertainty, the financial and emotional drain and the disruption to business of extended litigation. Mediation, a form of alternative dispute resolution increasingly required by the Courts, is often the forum for such settlements. Our trial lawyers participate in mediations representing our own clients or serving as settlement officers mediating the disputes of others. Our experience on both sides of the mediation table has been very valuable in our representation of our clients in that forum.
