Depositions

Depose anyone and everyone associated with the project
Deposition costs; travel, transportation, reporter, transcription, video, attorney fees, copies, etc.
A team of two lawyers reviews, tags, and scans the necessary portions of the file. Only documents deemed key by the lawyers on the case are reproduced. Time: 2 – 3 days.

Schedule

There is no schedule.
The longer the case takes, the more the fees rise!
If a deposition is absolutely necessary, only key witnesses. A CPM-style Calendar is created on the front-end with a 180 day end date for all.

Settle

Trial too costly. 
Force mediation. Attempt settlement. BUT! Not afraid to proceed to trial if offers unfavorable. No risk to try.
