Corrective Counsel

If your case has stalled, or if you suspect your current counsel is out of their depth, do not wait until it is too late. We specialize in fixing complex legal messes.

Ghosting

If you have not heard from your attorney, or if you cannot get a straight answer regarding the status of your case, this is not just poor service—it is a liability. Silence often means deadlines are being missed.

Freezing

Many general practitioners are comfortable filing paperwork but "freeze" when a case becomes contested. If opposing counsel has become aggressive and your attorney seems unwilling to fight back, they may be out of their depth.

The Local Conflict

In tight-knit legal communities, some attorneys are hesitant to aggressively litigate against "friends" or politically connected figures. If your lawyer seems more concerned with maintaining local relationships than winning your case, you need independent counsel.
