New Orleans Commercial Dispute and Civil Litigation Attorneys
Litigation is a cost of doing business in our society. Despite the best intentions, legal disputes are inevitable. When a commercial dispute or high-dollar insurance claim arises, a client is best served by lawyers who can efficiently solve the problem. Efficiency is largely measured by the expenditure of time and money. Although hourly rates are a key indicator of cost, there are other questions for a client to consider:
- Do the lawyers have real trial experience or are they merely second chair litigators?
- How does the firm charge for non-legal services and other costs?
- Will your case be used as a training ground for highly paid recent graduates with no experience?
