Litigation

JRSND provides traditional litigation services in a stripped-down modern format. We go for the best, cost-effective result in the shortest possible time. Our lawyers have years of successful trial experience in the State and Federal courts as well as arbitration before the major tribunals. Unlike most litigators, we never assume a case is going to settle. Instead, we push relentlessly to gain pre-trial advantage using the full range of discovery and motion practice, thereby positioning the case for early resolution by judicial decision or forcing settlement on our terms. This ends up costing less as we focus on the core issues for case preparation and avoid wasteful, lawyer-driven brawls which do nothing to resolve the case. We strive to use mediation at the right time to short-cut the process. Our clients are kept in the loop at all times with the goal of avoiding surprises as to strengths, weaknesses and cost.

 

While we handle all areas of business disputes, we have particular expertise in a number of areas: Contract disputes; Entertainment industry disputes; LLC member disputes; Landlord/Tenant disputes – both commercial and residential; Real Estate disputes; Employee misconduct; Intellectual Property; Consumer Class Action cases.

 

JRSND is at the forefront in handling cases involving tenant-screening and credit bureau compliance issues. We have successfully participated in the formation and challenging of credit reporting legislation, through participation in drafting new laws, providing opinion letters, obtaining injunctions against the enforcement of prejudicial laws and filing amicus briefs in cases on appeal where the outcome affects our clients’ interests.
