Litigation
It is inevitable that at one time or another you will be confronted with the threat of litigation. Sometimes businesses and individuals are sued for circumstances which are beyond their control. At other times, clients have no alternative but to file a lawsuit to protect assets or enforce valuable rights. Because litigation implies risk, uncertainty and expense, it is in those times that you need honest, dependable and capable legal counsel. Fitzgerald Abbott & Beardsley has more than a century of experience in successfully representing the interests of clients in court proceedings. FAB's litigation attorneys always focus on resolving the problem for its client at the earliest possible stage of the dispute. To this end, FAB litigators are well-versed in settlement negotiations, mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
