Commercial Litigation in Florida
Commercial Litigation Services in Florida
Whether a multi-national corporation, individual or small business, we assist clients in responding to challenges in all developing and established areas of the law.
We take pride in working collaboratively with our clients, and understand that each has individual business goals requiring different and creative risk management, loss prevention, and litigation strategies and techniques.
Our attorneys have tried many cases to verdict. However, we understand that trial is often not in the best interests of our clients or the most cost-effective resolution. We have extensive experience in working closely with in-house/corporate counsel and senior level management to formulate the appropriate approach to each dispute. Although early and cost-effective resolution is our primary goal, some cases cannot, and should not, be settled. It is at this point that the Bitman O’Brien & Morat, PLLC attorneys work at deciphering the complexities of our clients’ cases for the court, the jury, the mediator/arbitrator, or the appellate panel.
Bitman O’Brien & Morat, PLLC implements a team approach to litigation and trial, which ensures that tasks are appropriately staffed and handled by personnel with the appropriate knowledge base and experience level. What distinguishes Bitman O’Brien & Morat, PLLC from other law firms is that our size, state-wide presence and structure allow us to keep in step with each client’s unique business and litigation needs. We carefully manage overhead so that we can offer competitive hourly rates and commensurate cost savings to our clients.
