Prior to recommending or initiating litigation, or for that matter developing the strategy of a defense, the lawyers at Richmonds apply their experience in both evaluating the strengths of the claims and defenses and just as importantly, seek to anticipate what it will take to achieve the desired result. We fully understand that litigation can be costly, time-consuming, and uncertain. As a result, while we are trained and ready to appear before any tribunal, we always provide at the outset a realistic evaluation of the matter at hand. We also understand that litigation is stressful and that no one likes to be accused of wrongdoing. Our thoughtful and analytical approach is intended to put our clients at ease and relieve anxiety while we take on the responsibility. Our litigation practice includes all forms of construction and business litigation, commercial real estate disputes, business torts, professional negligence, employment matters, litigation in the United States Bankruptcy Court, and in proceedings before state and federal administrative agencies.
