What Aggressive Representation Means to Us
Our goal is to get our clients every penny of compensation to which they are entitled. We do not take cases with the intention of quickly settling them and moving on. At the same time, we do not go to trial for the sole purpose of attacking our opponents.
We do prepare every case for trial and our record of jury verdicts demonstrates that we are quite successful in that arena. Our experience has shown us that opponents are less likely to try to take advantage of us and our clients if they understand that we are willing to go the distance. We will ask for a fair settlement. If they do not provide it, we will see them at trial.
Efron v. an accounting firm: In one of our many successes, we obtained a pre-trial settlement of approximately $400,000 for a victim of workplace discrimination.
