Protecting Your Bottom Line
At the law firm of Mathew & George in Los Angeles, we tend to be very candid with our clients about the cost of business litigation. Litigation is expensive and, as a businessperson, you need to know what to expect.
Business litigation is not a game anyone can go into and spend a few thousand dollars and hope that everything will work out. One client who came to us was frustrated with his previous law firm because he had a case that involved $200,000 in damages and he had already spent more than that in legal fees with no resolution in sight.
Our lawyers always begin a case by setting expectations. We'll give you a fair estimate of what your legal case will cost to go to trial. As a business owner, you need to make projections for your budget and be certain that the outcome is worth the potential expense.
We tell our clients things they may not want to hear. If we think you should be more reasonable in light of your exposure, or if an issue is not worth pursuing, we will let you know. We often say things that are against our self-interest as attorneys, but are in our clients' best interest. We believe that candid communications lead to a better attorney-client relationship.
Attorney's Fees
Throughout your case, you can rest assured knowing that our experienced attorneys will handle every detail from beginning to end. This approach, coupled with our skills and knowledge, translates into efficient and cost-effective legal representation.
We built our law practice on repeat clients and client referrals, which means that trust is very important to us. So far, we've never lost a client.
Dealing With Negative Information
As attorneys, we will be honest with you and never go back on our word. As our client, we also need you to be honest with us.
We expect you to tell us everything we need to prosecute or defend your case. Don't think we're here to judge you. Our job as attorneys is to give you the best possible outcome within the law. More often that not, we can take perceived negative information and put it in such a way that makes it not as damaging as you thought it would be — or not damaging at all.
Don't give us your trust now. Let us earn it. To talk to an attorney at our firm, call (310) 478-4349 or fill out the contact form on this site.
