Signs a Dispute Is Headed for Legal Action

Most of our litigation clients reach out when a dispute has become too big to ignore. Maybe this feels familiar:


  • A vendor or customer isn’t holding up their end of a contract, and it’s costing your business money.
  • You’re in a property or real estate conflict that simple negotiations haven’t resolved.
  • A business partner’s decisions have put the company—or your investment—at risk.
  • You’ve tried to collect payment multiple times, but the other side still refuses to pay.
  • A disagreement has escalated to threats of legal action, and you need to know your options.
  • You’ve been served with a lawsuit and aren’t sure what to do next.


If any of these situations sound like yours, it’s time to bring in an attorney who can protect your interests.

What Clients Want to Know Before Heading to Court

  • Do most cases go to trial?

    No. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation or settlement. We only recommend trial when it’s the best way to protect your interests.

  • How long will a lawsuit take?

    It depends on the complexity of the case and the court’s schedule. Some disputes resolve in months; others may take longer.

  • Is litigation always expensive?

    Litigation can be costly, but we focus on efficiency and look for opportunities to resolve matters without unnecessary delays or expenses.

  • What if I’ve already tried to resolve things on my own?

    That’s common. We step in when informal solutions fail, helping you pursue stronger legal remedies.
