Darnall & Associates, PLLC

Litigation It is about more than simply "handling" lawsuits. Sometimes it is about actually going to trial and resting your fate in a jury or judge. Our clients like the odds, and know that there are many disputes upon which you simply need to stand up and be counted. When that time comes, they prefer to place their trust in lawyers seasoned at the courthouse, not by stacks of papers in a high rise office. The legal profession is changing. New styles, new ideas, new methods of dealing with conflict resolution. But one thing remains the same - when you have a case that can't or shouldn't be settled for whatever reason, it must be tried. That is what we do - we try lawsuits. Our clients know that with Darnall Law you have an automatic and credible threat that a trial is a very real possibility. The threat alone is a valuable asset. It means more favorable settlements and fewer lawsuits filed against them. And when it is time to tee it up, they know they have an advocate in their corner giving 100% in an effort to acquire justice. Trying lawsuits is not for everyone. You don't want your lawyer getting his trial experience at your expense. Do you and your management wonder what it would be like to experience the joy of a favorable jury verdict as opposed to the pain and frustration of conciliation? While we are proud of our accomplishments, we are also proud of the philosophy that brought this success about. Seldom does a good result happen by accident or by luck. A good lawyer knows that, and a good lawyer shares that with his client.
