Our Unique Approach to Litigation
Many attorneys who have been practicing for years tend to take a cookie-cutter approach to litigation. They know what works, they think, so they apply those same methods to every case they get. Sometimes they’re successful, and sometimes they’re not.
The Denton Peterson attorneys understand that no two cases are alike. We don’t use the same approach for each case because we know that each case requires its own unique strategy in order to accomplish the client’s goals.
For more complex cases, we may need to carefully evaluate even the smallest of details. For other cases, we may be able to look at the broader issues to make the most compelling arguments. We determine the best strategy by taking the time it takes to review with our clients at the beginning of the case all the circumstances that led to the litigation and to understand what our clients hope to accomplish (whether they are defending themselves or bringing the litigation against someone).
