Settlements
Sometimes, settling is smarter than fighting.
Whether it’s a Divorce case or a Criminal case, often the best course of action is to try to negotiate a settlement.
Why not just go to court and fight it out, no matter what? Settlements often offer a wider range of options that just aren’t available once a case ends up in a courtroom. During a trial, we will be limited to pleas and motions that stem directly from the narrow selection of evidence allowed in court. The flexibility we enjoyed prior to the trial will be curtailed, if not completely removed.
Simply put, a trial limits our ability to control the outcome.
I’ve been negotiating plea agreements and countless other settlement types for over thirty years. I have the skills and experience to make sure you get the best possible deal, every time.
