Litigation
Resolving complex disputes with the power of perspective.
The attorneys in the Capes Sokol Litigation practice use a collaborative, team-oriented approach to managing and resolving a wide-variety of complex disputes in the most cost-effective manner. This approach, combined with a broad range of knowledge and experience, gives us the perspective we need to achieve the best possible results for our clients.
We have successfully represented clients in federal and state courts at both the trial and appellate levels in complex business, real estate, construction, trust, employment, securities, insurance, personal injury, product liability and toxic tort claims, and property diminution litigation. We regularly handle matters before administrative agencies and arbitration panels. In addition, we negotiate on behalf of clients to achieve resolution pre-litigation, through mediation and other non-judicial methods.
