Litigation

If you have been served with a lawsuit, or have been unable to come to an agreement with an opponent, we will zealously advocate your position and guide you through the Court process. We are experienced in representing clients at trial in a variety of cases in Town, State, and Federal Courts.

Alternatives to Litigation

Appeals

Sometimes even after a well-researched and carefully conducted trial, the result is not in your favor. Based on decades of experience and, in Ms. DeWeese’s case, working for an appellate court, we have deep experience in crafting compelling arguments on appeal both to appellate courts and for appeals within college and university disciplinary proceedings.
