Haines & Krieger, LLC helps clients resolve business and contract disputes in state and federal courts. These disputes often include claims involving negligence, breach of contract, tortious interference with contract, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, trademark, copyrights, patents, unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, director and officer liability, shareholder disputes, real estate disputes, and other matters.
In all of our practice areas, Haines & Krieger, LLC strives to help clients avoid litigation whenever possible. Litigation should always be the last resort. When litigation is required, we provide experienced trial attorneys to help our clients obtain a successful outcome. We believe that the best litigation results happen when the attorneys and client form a team that is prepared to try the case. This approach has two benefits.
First, trial attorneys get better settlements. Haines & Krieger, LLC recognizes that most cases do - and should - settle before they go to trial. Being prepared to try the case helps our clients settle their claims out of court more often. In many cases, the opposing parties will not take you seriously unless you have done a thorough investigation of your case, an honest evaluation of all of the facts, proper and efficient discovery, necessary research, and obtained the evidence and witnesses needed to support your case.
Second, trial attorneys get better trial results. By being prepared to try the case, Haines & Krieger, LLC attorneys do not get caught unprepared when the case must goes to trial.
Haines & Krieger, LLC firmly believes that its trial-oriented philosophy does not come at the expense of litigation efficiency. To the contrary, we believe that much of litigation - especially traditional discovery practice - is wasteful of the client�s time and money, as well as, the limited resources of most courts. By concentrating on what is necessary to prepare the case for trial, Haines & Krieger, LLC lawyers get through the pretrial phase more quickly and efficiently. We focus on those pretrial strategies that have a realistic chance of disposing of the case prior to trial or meaningfully narrowing the issues for trial. We take discovery with an eye toward evidence that will prove useful at trial. Haines & Krieger, LLC thus avoids many of the wasteful pre-trial tactics that have earned many law firms the distrust of their clients and the courts.
Every case has a statute of limitations that will apply. It varies by the type of case and the state where the case is filed. Don't wait until there is trouble or until the end of your case to get a lawyer. Your attorney would prefer to be involved every step of the way, to monitor your case, to guide you, to prevent trouble, and to assist you.
