Do you want to settle a lawsuit? We can help
According to a number of studies somewhere around 85% of civil cases are settled without going to court. There are many reasons that both sides may decide to settle. In most cases, it’s more expensive to go to court than to settle. In fact, for every four business lawsuits that go to court, one of them pays more to go to trail than they would have to settle.
Does that mean that you shouldn’t go to trial? Of course not. There are specific scenarios that warrant a trial. That said, it’s important o to consider all sides. That’s why you want to work with an attorney. We can look closely at all sides to find the right way forward for your company. If the right answer ends up being settling the case, then we can negotiate aggressively for the best possible outcome.
We can take your case to court
In other cases, the best way to proceed is to go to court. If it’s worth the added expense to your company then we are happy to take on the case. We will fight vigorously for you and your company. One of the advantages of this option is that you’ll be sending a clear message to other entities that your company doesn’t settle. This can reduce the number of frivolous lawsuits filed against you.
Remember that this involves civil court and the burden of proof is different. A jury doesn’t have to be 100% convinced that you have a liability to the plaintiff. This lower standard of proof doesn’t make it somewhat easier for the plaintiff to win. That said, it’s still not easy – especially when you have a qualified business law attorney on your side.
There are many options to defend your company
When you call Law Offices of Torrence L. Howell for your consultation, we can discuss the defense options that make the most sense for your particular situation. However, one of the most common options is an affirmative defense. For example, in a product liability case, we may show that the plaintiff misused the product. If the issue is an employee dispute, then we may show that you had reason to act as you did, or if it is a breach of contract case then we may show justification.
