The Denton Peterson Approach
No two lawsuits are the same, which is why the Denton Peterson approach to litigation is designed to be flexible to your goals and budget. Sometimes cases demand that we explore every tiny detail, but sometimes a less rigorous review of certain, critical components is sufficient. In that case, we take the time early in our relationship to sift through the complex issues, and to uncover and explore only the ones that matter most. Once we have evaluated your case, we tailor our approach to best suit your needs and your budget. No two lawsuits are the same, but all are deserving of the same careful attention to detail which we give to each of our cases.
The best litigators are the ones who have the experience and the wisdom to recognize when litigation is not the best course of action, either because of the specific facts of the case or because a trial would be prohibitively expensive or lengthy. If a problem exists that can be solved without incurring significant litigation costs, we can build a mediation or arbitration strategy that works for you.
