Possible Outcomes of Business Litigation

The available path depends on the nature of the conflict, the evidence, the agreement terms, and the parties’ willingness to reach a resolution. Our commercial litigation attorney in Fresno can evaluate the options based on the circumstances and your objectives.

We may pursue:

• Settlement agreements: Negotiation can resolve disputes without a trial, which can save time and limit expenses.
• Court judgments: If litigation proceeds to trial, our lawyer’s extensive courtroom experience informs his advocacy through pleadings, discovery, motions, hearings, and trial preparation.
• Alternative dispute resolution (ADR): Mediation uses a neutral facilitator to help parties negotiate, while arbitration places a dispute before an arbitrator under the applicable agreement and rules. We can help you evaluate these options when appropriate.
