"In my opinion, there’s a salient distinction between a ‘litigator’ and a ‘trial lawyer.’ On the one hand, there’s an increasing breed of litigators, who spend most of their time behind a keyboard—sending emails and letters, racking up legal bills, generally giving the client very little or sometimes even nothing to show for it. On the other hand, a trial lawyer is goal-oriented, anchored to the client’s mission, fearless, the other side knows that, and that courtroom knowledge and expertise genuinely increases the value to the client, regardless of whether the case is actually resolved either with or without a trial. Our law firm will try any lawsuit, anywhere, anytime, with excitement and without fear. Because we will try any kind of civil dispute, our clients’ legal disagreements get resolved, if at all possible, without a trial. If the case must be tried, our lawyers are prepared and our clients know exactly what to expect." -- Brian Lauten |
