Litigation

Established businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals faced with litigation all have one need in common. That’s a litigation strategy that achieves prompt, cost-effective, positive results. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to litigation. At The Coe Law Firm, we understand that each client’s case and circumstance are unique. As a boutique law firm that works closely with each client to understand the client’s operations, interests and objectives, you gain the benefit of not only a trial team that provides superior expertise and results, but a partner that takes on and resolves legal disputes so that you can focus on your and your business’s success and growth.

Our Philosophy

We provide personalized service to each and every client from the small start-up venture to the large publicly-traded company involved in the simplest breach of contract suit to the most complex commercial dispute. Lawsuits can be time consuming, taxing and expensive. That’s why it’s important to work with a law firm that has the experience and tenacity to promptly resolve business disputes in a cost-effective manner.

Our representation starts with effective communication with not only our clients but their adversaries as well as mediators and judicial or administrative bodies. For clients, this means an open, interactive relationship. We listen and rely on your views, goals and feedback to help us develop litigation strategies, chart appropriate courses of action and develop effective solutions.

We have found that our approach allows our trial team to deliver our clients the best possible results. Based on decades of experience in state and federal courts, our trial team engages in a detailed analysis of the dispute and applicate law, ultimately identifying and focusing on the issues that are determinative of the outcome of the case. We then frankly discuss with each client the strengths and weaknesses, and costs and benefits of the client’s case, so the client can make informed decisions about the case as we work to achieve the best result possible for the client under the circumstances of each case.

Our early case assessment and development frequently results in early resolution by way of favorable settlement without the necessity of trial. However, when settlement is not possible, we develop the case to achieve the most favorable result at trial.

In addition to prompt case development and resolution, we also strive to keep client costs down with reasonable fee arrangements. While we handle most cases on a traditional hourly rate basis, we also offer alternative fee arrangements when appropriate based on the circumstances of the case to handle matters on a hybrid or contingent fee basis.
