WHAT COLLEAGUES ARE SAYING:
I had the pleasure of working closely with Dave Ross on a complex commercial lawsuit in federal court. Our experience representing co-defendants in that case caused me to develop an even higher level of respect for him has a litigator. I was struck by Dave’s tenacity, drive, and ability to make sophisticated, creative arguments. I also was impressed by his ability to stand toe-to-toe with, and often get the better of, a significantly larger corporate adversary — one that had a much larger staff and far greater resources than he did. I’d love to work with Dave again, and I can wholeheartedly recommend him to any business owner who’s looking for a smart, talented lawyer.

Unfortunately, litigation is a common, if not inevitable, part of doing business. It is essential to have an experienced litigator in your corner to help navigate through the complex process. Due to the nature of the Firm’s practice, this process can encompass a wide variety of tribunals, including hearings before administrative agencies; proceedings before county, state, or federal courts; and appeals. Each type of tribunal has its unique set of rules, degree of formality, and customs and practices. We are experienced in representing clients before these various tribunals. A sophisticated understanding of our clients’ businesses, coupled with the ability to design creative strategies and to implement them tenaciously, forms the basis for our strength in litigation. Our extensive litigation experience and “whatever-it-takes” attitude is demonstrated by our relentless pursuit of our clients’ objectives within the boundaries of the law and our ethical obligations.
Moreover, the Firm is sensitive to how costly lawsuits can be. Budgets and projected expenditures are important, and discussions with clients as to how expenses can be contained are welcomed. Litigants can count on receiving unsolicited suggestions as to strategies and options that would help bring an early end to the litigation – what it will take and how to position the client’s case in order to bring the opponent to a quicker resolution, either within the court system or out-of-court.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Settlement Negotiations
Becoming embroiled in litigation can not only become expensive, but it can also be stressful and burdensome. It likewise can be time-consuming, distracting litigants from ongoing personal and business concerns. Statistically, of course, the vast majority of cases settle prior to trial. It is equally true that cases are won or lost long before the litigants ever step into the courtroom. Clients of the Firm can count on our frank analysis of the strengths and challenges of a client’s case, as well as our ability to strategize and position a case so as to capitalize on the weaknesses of the opponent’s case and to expose the opponent’s vulnerabilities to the maximum extent possible. The Ross Law Firm has the depth of litigation experience necessary to create the litigation environment within which a truly advantageous settlement can occur.
In a limited number of circumstances, in fact, it is possible to resolve a dispute on favorable terms even before it escalates into litigation. In these cases, the Ross Law Firm explores this possibility in order to conserve client resources.
Due to the costs and risks our clients face in litigation, we also explore alternative dispute resolution opportunities, such as mediation, on behalf of our clients. Alternative dispute resolution, moreover, is not necessarily a matter of choice. Courts often encourage if not require litigants to participate (in good faith) in mediation (presided over by a neutral, third party mediator who practices “shuttle diplomacy” to explore mutually satisfactory solutions). Binding arbitration (where the arbitrator’s decision has the effect of a court judgment) can also be the exclusive remedy available when imposed contractually by virtue of a valid, mandatory arbitration clause.
Whether these dispute resolution methods are obligatory or options under consideration, the Ross Law Firm offers skill and experience in protecting our clients’ interests and assisting them in achieving a satisfactory resolution of their dispute through settlement, arbitration and/or mediation.
Please contact us for more information on how the Ross Law Firm can protect your interests and assist you with the resolution of a dispute through litigation or through the use of alternative dispute resolution processes.
