High Conflict Cases Heat Up Quick
You keep trying to work things out, but everything seems to be getting worse. If contentious times in court now look like an inevitability, you probably have a high-conflict case on your hands.
High-conflict cases boil down to high-conflict personalities. This could mean your ex or their lawyer makes almost everything a struggle. Your attorney often needs to engage in legal discovery to learn even the basic facts of your case. This might require interrogatories, subpoenas, and depositions rather than a simple call to opposing counsel.
High-conflict cases often end up in trial. You’ll need the strength of experience to see this through. You’ll need a legal team on their toes pretty much 24/7. Diligent and unintimidated, our lawyers limit the number of high-conflict cases we take on at any given time.
We recognize you’re in a crisis situation. When you’re on the receiving end of a barrage of aggressive tactics and nasty accusations, you need to feel legally and emotionally supported in the often-nonstop whiplash.
Our fierce, compassionate, and collaborative team is a powerful force in a high-conflict divorce. Things can heat up very quickly. You need a trial-ready and highly accessible lawyer with plenty of backup who can jump in without missing a beat.
