What does it all mean?

Some lawyers tout their years of experience as the sole basis for their expertise. “I’ve been doing this for forty years!” We hear that a lot. Some law firms boast of “120 years of combined experience.” It is a fallacy. The number of years someone has been around means very little. All of us know of car dealers, hotel chains, and restaurants that have been around for a long time, yet we would never shop there.

Our reputation is based on a number of factors, including our commitment to the highest level of customer service, our aggressive training and professional development, and our execution in the courtroom. Everything we do is centered around how to obtain the best outcome possible for each client. The way that is done is through trial skills. The legal community knows what we do in the courtroom, and those who don’t know, learn.

The issues that clients encounter the most when dealing with lawyers are a result of a lack of understanding of the importance of courtroom trial skills. Knowing the law is not the same as trying a case. There are multitudes of lawyers who can accurately state the law but cannot adequately make a proper presentation of a case in the courtroom. The problems flow from there. Cases tend to stall out when the lawyers are afraid of court or do not know how to take a case all the way. “Litigators” will spend tens of thousands of dollars on discovery fights that have no relationship to the information or evidence that is actually needed for court.

Our devotion to trial skills enhances every other aspect of our work. When the opposing party or their lawyer is unreasonable or behaves erratically, we are unfazed because we know how to move the case along without their cooperation or participation. In rare cases where the judge has a conflict of interest or a misunderstanding of how to apply the law, we know how to make the record at trial so that the matter will be reversed on appeal. Our clients benefit from our perspective every day through our proprietary software and constant communication that keeps them informed about their case status and what we need from them.

It is not unusual for us to receive a call or a text from a judge with a legal question about a case before them in which we are not involved. From time to time, we receive a call from a person with a legal issue who says that they were given our name by a judge that they know who is not overseeing their matter. Our peers and judges know that both in court and out of court we offer reliable, practical insight into the status and meaning of the applicable law.
