PRACTICE AREA
Parties now have more options in litigation. Litigation no longer entails only trying civil lawsuits; rather, it is part of a larger system of dispute resolution, which, along with traditional civil lawsuits, includes arbitration, mediation, trials using private judges, collaborative law, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
Some disputes still require immediate, aggressive action in a court. However, in many situations, clients and their lawyers are looking for more cost effective and efficient ways to resolve disputes.
LHP’s litigation have handled thousands of cases across the State of California. Early in the process, LHP’s attorneys work with the client to set reasonable goals and to establish realistic budgets and strategies to achieve those goals. Also appropriate alternatives are explored so that the client understands the scope of the issues involved and the risks that are inherent in many types of disputes.
