Whether you need to file a civil lawsuit or you're being sued, we advise you speak to a civil litigation lawyer in order to determine the best course of action for you to take. Similar to chess, litigation requires an understanding of the law, experience, and a calculated strategy in order to outdo your opponent.
If you wish to avoid trial altogether, but you're stuck at an impasse, let our lawyers help you settle through arbitration or mediation. Regardless of carefully drafted contracts and well-defined business relationships, disputes and litigation are bound to happen. While some business disputes are settled quickly, others may call for negotiations in order to reach mutually agreeable terms.

Alex is the best lawyer in town! He helped me get my money back from the wedding venue who wanted to keep my money after cancelling my wedding.Alex was relentless, after a year he won a good settlement for me.Although the case took a year, he didn't charge extra fees! I recommend him.

Mr. Schachtel was amazing, I went into my litigation scared, unsure of what was going to happen and believing that my life was going to be turned upside down. As an Army Veteran, I suffer from severe PTSD and Mr. Schachtel not only took the time to explain everything to me but ensured that everything was taken care of. I highly recommend him to everyone.

I had scheduled an intial consultation with the attorney but first, since i was a few minutes early, i decided to go to the post office to mail something. Upon my arrival, i found him in a rather heated debate with another post office customer. He was aggressive,confident but reasonably fair while expressing his points. He has all the qualities i want in a lawyer representing me.

To date all our interactions have been positive and his handing of the affairs extremely competent.

We retained Mr. Schachtel for what we thought would be a straightforward matter that quickly turned into a complicated, year long dispute. Mr. Schachtel was knowledgeable and was able to counter all arguments from the opposing attorney as he navigated the law pertaining to this matter, ultimately winning our case for us. Throughout the year we worked with Mr. Schachtel he was always professional, he always remained even and calm, and was always up front about how the case was progressing and the options we had. He also did not attempt to overcharge, and we felt he fees were reasonable. We were
