I've been there. In the trenches. Just like you, I've combed through moldy and dusty boxes of documents, and flown across the country to sit in eight-hour depositions. Like you, I've had to explain to clients why you cannot guarantee success and had to convince the client that standing on principle may not be the best business decision.
I speak your language. I can help you break through the barriers of communications, whether they be with your client or with the opposing counsel. I understand those dynamics. I know how to explain the cold hard realities of litigation without condescending, and more importantly, without making you look bad in front of your client.
I know the types of cases you handle. I understand what issues are relevant and significant to your dispute, and I know when best to use that information to facilitate critical analysis.
