Having process served on you is never a pleasant experience. Nonetheless, disputes between companies and between a business and its customers occur frequently. A lawyer's assistance during the litigation process or Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) proceeding provides businesses with essential information for vital decision-making during a dispute and facilitates resolution of disagreements. Individuals may also require representation before a court, administrative tribunal, arbitration panel, or in mediation to resolve a wide range of disputes ranging from business-related to personal injury. Clarity of expression and succinctness in presentation are hallmarks of a litigator. Narrowing the dispute and the issues requiring resolution are the qualities clients expect. Thoughtful presentation and navigation through the morass of litigation are the skills clients demand. In the end, a client needs an attorney possessing eloquence, skill, and courage to litigate a case. Attorney Erskine counsels individuals and companies faced with litigation, arbitration, mediation, or negotiation to resolve their dispute--whether it be over a breached contract, employment discharge or related issues, tort action, or the like. Attorney Erskine researches applicable laws, interviews witnesses, reviews documents, argues pre-trial motions (summary judgment, dismissal, discovery, & procedural), and advises clients on merits of possible litigation claims.

Still other clients require advocacy at the appellate level to bring final resolution to their dispute. Precision in written submissions to the court and directness in oral argument are the tools clients expect of an appellate litigator. As appellate matters arise as a result of various legal errors, thoroughness and attention to detail are necessary qualities for the appellate lawyer. Attorney Erskine assists clients in appellate matters by writing briefs and providing oral advocacy before appellate courts. Advising clients on appellate strategy for disputing a trial court order or judgment, Attorney Erskine assists clients with appeals.
