Our Approach to Business Litigation
We start with the proposition that every case is, potentially, a "bet your company" case. By that we mean that the complexities of litigation and the expense involved in prosecuting or defending business lawsuits can make every case one of the most important events of your business life. When considered along with the potential and the possibility for a significant damage award either for your business or against it, generally makes a case of this nature life or death for your company or your career.
With more than 32 years behind us, we understand and appreciate this reality and are always on the lookout for business solutions to legal problems. And, more often than not, when your lawyer has the experience and knowledge to look for that business solution, it's there to be found and implemented.
But we also recognize that some cases cannot be settled short of trial. When that is the case, we are well prepared to try your case, drawing upon hundreds of trial experiences throughout Florida. And when it is time for trial, you won't be shuffled off to another lawyer or be referred to another department within a law firm and your case won't be passed off to a young associate who needs trial experience. When you engage John Gillespie's law firm for your case, that's who you get from the first interview to the day the verdict is announced. Whether your business litigation arises in Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Hillsboro Beach or Deerfield, call 954-785-0001 or contact our firm online for an initial consultation. Most initial consultations are without charge so that we can get to know each other.
