Finding Creative Solutions To Your Problems

Just because you have a dispute does not mean you need the cost and burden of going to court. Other alternatives exist that assist our clients in finding the resolution they need, without necessarily all of the time, expense, and effort in a traditional lawsuit.

Mediation is a form of private negotiation, ensuring confidentiality in the negotiation, while also having a knowledgeable third-party assist the parties in finding a meaningful solution.

Arbitration is a form of private judging, ensuring confidentiality, speed, and generally a more cost-effective manner to resolve a dispute.

We worked with Claire and Steven on a living trust issue that we had, and were very impressed with their professionalism and patience in handling everything. Claire was highly recommended from another firm we had reached out to, and we certainly understand why. The situation we were dealing with was complicated, but both Claire and Steven were quick to get all the facts and wonderful in helping us get a clear game plan figured out. It is reassuring to know that we can always reach out to them for additional help if needed.

Steven’s legal expertise and sophistication were tremendous in resolving key issues in my case. Most important of all, Steven’s ability to bring my case to settlement with eloquent presentation while keeping my focus on the bigger picture was most impressive to me. If ever needed, I would hire Steven for his services in a heartbeat.
