EFFECTIVE ADVOCACY can influence the outcome of almost any dispute.  To that end, we at The Corbett Law Firm, a Professional Corporation, have dedicated ourselves to mastering the craft of litigation.  After more than 15 years of serving clients who range from individuals to Fortune 500 corporations, we are prepared to provide the vigorous advocacy necessary to assist clients with their most pressing and challenging legal problems.  Tenacious yet circumspect, creative yet thorough, we bring these attributes to bear in every case we accept. We are most comfortable when arguing to judges and juries or examining witnesses in court.  We approach pre-trial discovery as a means of preparing a convincing case for trial, not as an end in itself.  We avoid activities that accumulate fees and expenses but are unlikely to advance our clients' interests; indeed, we will seek to avoid litigation altogether when such a course would be most beneficial to our client.  Though most lawsuits are ultimately resolved through summary disposition or negotiated settlements, we believe that we best serve our clients by preparing each case as if it will be presented to and decided by a jury.  It is this approach that is most likely to yield a favorable result. In pursuing the interests of our clients, we regularly appear in federal and state courts at both the trial and appellate levels.  Arbitrations, mediations and administrative litigation also constitute significant parts of our practice.  We also assist our client in identifying and mitigating risks which might threaten their businesses, even before litigation arises.
