Second Opinion / Repair Counsel

Practice Areas

It is all too common for a client engaged in high-stakes litigation or arbitration to lose confidence in their lawyer’s approach. At such times, a second opinion may be useful to the client, either to reassure them that their legal team is effectively representing their interests, or to salvage the matter before a less effective legal strategy or approach is fully effectuated. We are often asked to take over these matters and have a strong track record of steering them to a far more satisfactory conclusion.

Proven Results for Our Clients

LITIGATION RESCUED

Client came to us approximately one month before trial, deeply invested in defending contract litigation against him which had appeared to be motivated to dissuade him from testifying in a multimillion-dollar legal case out-of-state, but unsatisfied with his current counsel and worried about his chances at trial. We appeared at trial and obtained a directed verdict against the plaintiff and were later awarded nearly $300,000 in attorneys’ fees and costs.

CASE STRATEGY OVERHAULED

Client ran a large marijuana wholesale operation in Southern Oregon, and was sued by a producer who claimed Client had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars of marijuana product. We were brought in as counsel shortly before the arbitration hearing, and after radically changing the theory of the case presented by prior counsel, achieved a complete defense award and an award of nearly $150,000 in attorneys’ fees.
