US Litigation

US civil procedure gives plaintiffs unusually strong tools to establish their claims. This often results in a settlement before trial. Only about 2% of civil suits in the USA go to a trial of the kind that film and television have made famous world-wide.

If a loss you have suffered has some connection to the USA, I will be happy to investigate whether it makes sense to file your case there.  To provide an understanding what that would mean for you.  And of course to consider with you the pros and cons of different courses of action.

Many courts in the USA now accept the submission of briefs via email, so the need for your attorney to be physically present in the USA can be limited.

If your case does go to trial, I have prepared myself by completing both the Advocate and Master Advocate programs of the National Institute for Trial Advocacy (NITA).
