Balanced Practice
Most firms handle only traditional adversarial representation. Baruch’s Observation states: “When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.” So, when a lawyer only knows about traditional adversarial representation, generally this is the only approach that the lawyer will suggest. There are cases appropriate for adversarial representation and cases appropriate for collaborative representation.
The lawyers of The Gitlin Law Firm have been trained as collaborative professionals (Fellows of the International Academy of Collaborative Professionals) and have extensive experience in adversarial representation. Each of the lawyers of The Gitlin Law Firm is a seasoned trial lawyer. Accordingly, the lawyers of The Gitlin Law Firm will be able to give the pros and cons as to the type of representation that is appropriate.
The Gitlin Law Firm combines experience, knowledge, and advocacy.
