Trial Representation
In select cases, we accept retainers to conduct pre-trial conferences, trials and arbitrations.
The cases in which we provide trial representation are high-value cases and cases that are meaningful because of principle, hardship or legal precedent.
Our intake process for trial representation can be rigorous and may involve a fee before we commit to representation. In the event of a fee prior to representation, we will provide preliminary trial recommendations stemming from our review regardless of whether or not we are retained.
