Results Driven
Jarrett Law Firm’s approach to litigation emphasizes the firm’s guiding principle of integrity at the greatest value. Firm attorneys are focused on evaluating actual and potential litigation at the earliest stages, to first determine if litigation can be avoided, or, if filing is necessary, whether the matter can be resolved quickly and economically. We pride ourselves on handling our litigation matters as efficiently as possible. Critically, as litigators we think not just as lawyers, but as business men and women, utilizing optimal resources and devising the most advantageous strategies for the most efficient and favorable results. Firm lawyers are also well-versed in negotiations and mediation, as an alternative dispute resolution technique. In addition, the conduct of litigation at every stage is performed in complete and close consultation with our clients. If you are in need of an attorney or unsure of whether you have a claim, we welcome the opportunity to be of service to you.
