A keen understanding of our clients’ business objectives defines our approach to litigation and disputes. We represent individuals and businesses in trial and appellate courts nationwide. We take a business-like approach to help clients successfully compete and advance their business and personal interests while avoiding regulatory actions or litigation.
Overarching Philosophy
Most important, we counsel clients before controversies occur, to provide the foresight and planning that may obviate disputes or strengthen clients’ positions if legal action becomes necessary. Following the philosophy of one of our founders, Phil C. Neal, we believe that candid advice and a true understanding of our clients’ businesses, combined with an unwavering commitment to legal excellence, will drive success, which we always measure through meeting our clients’ goals.
