The Law Offices of Barry M. Bordetsky represents corporate entities and individuals in all facets of litigation. Prior to embarking on any litigation a party should have a strategy with respect to prosecuting or defending a case. Litigation can be costly, and Barry addresses the big picture with clients, providing them with potential road maps of where a litigation can take a client, including risks and costs associated with a case. The drafting of pleadings, discovery, and trial work requires a significant time and emotional investment for many parties. The goal in protecting the client’s interests is not to litigate for the sake of litigating, but moving forward to protect the overall interests of the client. That can mean a quick settlement to avoid the costs of litigation or significant motion practice and aggressive discovery tactics to put the client in the best position for settlement or at trial.
