| Find out more about the type of cases we typically
handle:
Much of the practice of Hartzell & Whiteman is devoted to disputes
between businesses or claims by individuals against businesses.
We understand the general wisdom of trying to keep things simple,
but nonetheless have extensive experience in multi-party litigation,
in multi-state litigation, and with overlapping cases in different
courts or arbitrations. We also understand the importance of identifying
the appropriate forum and of affiliating good counsel in other states.
Some of the types of cases we handle include business ownership
disputes, breach of contract claims, investment fraud, unfair trade
practices, disputed ownership of intellectual property and insurance
bad faith.
We attempt to be highly selective in the cases we pursue on behalf
of plaintiffs, and are not reluctant to tell a prospective client
when we believe a case should not be pursued.
We believe that all lawyers have duties of cooperation and courtesy,
both to the other side and to the court, and we believe that litigation
tactics undertaken for the purpose of prolonging litigation or driving
up an adversary’s costs are abuses of the system. We also
recognize, however, that every litigant is entitled to take full
advantage of all rights afforded under our legal system, and neither
lawyer obligations of courtesy nor otherwise should require surrender
of meaningful client rights.
When the situation warrants we put together teams involving lawyers
from other organizations. When we conclude a matter is beyond our
competence, we either associate the necessary expertise or pass
on the case.
