Business and Commercial Litigation

The litigators of Pinales Stachler are seasoned trial attorneys who have a great deal of experience handling all types of business disputes. We have represented individuals and companies, large and small, in trial courts, appellate courts, and administrative agencies throughout the United States. Several of our litigators have business degrees, and one has a master’s degree in accounting. This business background, coupled with our experience, enables us to understand our clients’ business operations and goals. We recognize that formal litigation can be time-consuming, costly, and risky, and for that reason, we will explore alternative dispute resolution, such as arbitration and mediation, when appropriate and when those alternatives are in the best interests of the client. When formal litigation is the only or best alternative, our clients can be assured that we are comfortable in the courtroom and will always be well prepared.
