MEANS & METHODS
Our means & methods for client service are simple:
- Communicate. Nothing is more important than understanding and meeting our Clients’ needs, expectations and goals through discussions with and feedback from our Clients. Our Clients are always “in the loop” on progress and results.
- Manage Costs. When expectations are understood and the methods to meet those expectations are reviewed and refined, the impact to the bottom line is most reasonable.
- Avert Disaster Before It Occurs. When possible, it is better to prevent problems before they exist by structuring reliable contracts and providing real-time advice for issues as they arise.
- Utilize Alternative Dispute Resolution Techniques. When problems arise, negotiation and/or mediation are often cost-effective and successful methods of claim resolution.
- Litigate for Results. When necessary, aggressively represent our Clients in arbitration or litigation.
