For the past 20 years, we have handled a broad array of commercial litigation matters, representing individuals as well as small- to medium-sized businesses in breach-of-contract claims, partnership and shareholder disputes and drafting transactional documents. Our firm has the flexibility to tailor our fee schedule to the needs of individual clients. We make it a point to map out an appropriate strategy for each client and each claim, so that costs are kept within control.

Equally important, we provide our clients with an honest and unsparing evaluation of the merits of their claims (or defenses) and a fair estimate of the likely cost and time that may be involved. Clients often have an unrealistic view of either the strength or weakness of their legal position, and we find that it is critically important to educate them with respect to such matters.

As with our other areas of practice, we first explore the possibilities of settlement concerning any potential commercial claim. In many instances, potentially expensive and time-consuming litigation can be quickly resolved through face-to-face negotiations with the parties and/or their attorneys, or through mediation/arbitration. Where litigation is unavoidable, we have extensive courtroom experience at both the federal and state level.

Our civil litigation attorneys represent clients in federal and state courts in the New York City area, including the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island, and Long Island, as well as Rochester, Buffalo, and White Plains.
