Business Litigation
TAYLOR & RAPP, LLP recognizes that no one likes litigation, but sometimes it is inevitable. We are trial lawyers who pride ourselves on the ability to recognize when it's appropriate to push for settlement of a matter, and when it's appropriate to employ all their skills and experience to seek a successful resolution at trial. Our lawyers are in court every day—on your behalf.The goal of our trial practice is to achieve a favorable resolution of disputes through effective advocacy. But we start by trying to find a solution—one which achieves your goals in a cost effective and efficient manner. Efficient trial preparation with appropriate staffing of partners and paralegals promotes cost-effective representation, can lead to advantageous resolution prior to trial, and can maximize prospects for success at trial. We fight for a win/win solution because we recognize that it is in your best interest to focus on solutions first.
Although trial work remains the core of our litigation practice, our trial lawyers are active in other forums as well. We represent clients at hearings
before regulatory agencies and in arbitration, mediation, and other types of alternative dispute resolution. In addition, we are active appellate lawyers at all levels of the state courts.
