Litigation

WSMB's attorneys have considerable experience in all type of litigation and all phases of the litigation process. We handle a wide variety of commercial disputes and employment-related matters from the initial investigation stage through to the final resolution, including preliminary motions and hearings, discovery, jury and non-jury trials, and appeals. Our attorneys have handled cases in state and federal courts in numerous jurisdictions, covering a broad range of legal issues and substantive bodies of law.

At WSMB we are committed to vigorous advocacy on our clients' behalf, but we also fully understand that civil litigation is ultimately a dollars-and-cents endeavor that must be subjected to a cost-benefit analysis like any other business undertaking. We therefore work closely with each client to develop an efficient, cost-effective litigation plan for every matter we handle. We always work to ensure that our clients' costs (including our fees) are commensurate with the potential risk or return associated with a matter. And in certain instances we will handle matters on a partial-contingency-fee basis, so that our fee is directly related to the return we are able to achieve for our client. We have also been very successful in avoiding the time and expense associated with litigation or arbitration by recovering millions of dollars for our clients through negotiated settlements.
