Our approach to the defense of our clients is more aggressive than passive. We do not advocate "reacting" as a sound method of defending a claim on behalf of our clients. We believe that such a defense has the effect of ceding control of the course of the litigation to the plaintiffs’ attorneys, and we never want to relinquish control. Instead, we are more "attack oriented." It is our objective to ensure that when a case is concluded, the plaintiffs attorney will consider very carefully the advisability of ever suing our client again.
