A Better Option

 

If you are like most business owners, you need “practical” advice when it involves dispute resolution or litigation. In my experience, many businesses waste money in legal disputes simply because they turn a blind eye to what their attorneys do for them. Other than paying the legal fees, (which often become overwhelming and excessive), they fail to invest their own time and thought into the strategy needed obtain maximum results.

 

Many owners find comfort in the arms of a large firm believing that the larger they are the better they are. Unfortunately, many large firm partners are merely rainmakers whose only active role involves capturing a client for billing purposes. Then they assign a young associate, with little or no business experience, to perform the work. These associates are usually well pedigreed young lawyers with the talent to write and speak well. But frequently, they have little courtroom experience and are just “learning the trade”. In many large firms an associate’s rise to partnership status depends on meeting or exceeding an annual quota of “billable hours”; often at the client's expense.
 
David F. Zuppke has more than 31 years of seasoning in and out of  the courtroom. Let me provide your business the highest caliber litigation service without putting your "bottom line" at risk.

•  Perform an analysis of strengths and weaknesses before engaging. Careful planning often results in the ability to avoid or reduce the costs of litigation.

 

•  Leave the egos at the door.  More than you can imagine, I have seen hundreds of thousands of dollars wasted away in ego clashes.  The only winners are the attorneys.

 

•  When an unfavorable result is likely, attempt resolution before committing to litigation.   The cost of protracted litigation frequently exceeds the value of the dispute.

And when such efforts are unsuccessful or impossible, (such as when you are already a defendant in a lawsuit), develop a strategy for “damage control”.  Seasoned attorneys can usually recognize when to go to war and when to cut their client's losses.

 

•  When full blown litigation is necessary, develop a strategy designed for an unequivocal "value" win.  In almost every case, a "practical" approach results in an optimal result.

 

•  When faced with a "zero sum" situation, go for the jugular and get involved.  Successful business litigators usually accomplish the best results with proactive participation by their clients.

When aiming for an "unequivocal win", retain a fighter with tenacity, courage and the legal skills of a prize fighter.
