Frequently Asked Questions

Timelines vary significantly by court, case complexity and whether parties cooperate. We give clients a realistic estimate after reviewing the specific facts.

Where possible, yes. We often pursue negotiation or mediation first, reserving litigation for disputes that genuinely require it.
