Our firm is perhaps best known
for its trial attorneys, who have a proven record of
success. But our clients can attest that a successful
trial is not merely a product of excellent oral advocacy
during the trial. Instead, our trial successes are very
much a product of pre-trial legal analysis—often
beginning before a dispute crystallizes into litigation
and not ending until appellate review is exhausted:
- We are proud to share that our clients frequently
consult us before a dispute occurs. We advise clients
regarding their handling of a potential dispute so
that they can prevent the dispute or enter into litigation
from a position of strength.
- Our attorneys have a passion for the law that is
unparalleled. Our clients’ problems immediately
become “our” problems. Our clients continue
to be amazed at how quickly we learn and absorb the
subject matter of their dispute.
- Once a matter is presented to our firm, we first
analyze the unique legal issues presented. By maximizing
our analysis of the controlling law during the initial
stages of litigation, our clients are presented with
a reliable analysis of the likely outcome. This analysis
also serves as a guide during discovery and pretrial
litigation to promote our clients’ desire for
efficient and effective litigation as well as reasonable
alternatives for discovery and resolution.
- Importantly, we are willing to take our clients’ cases
to trial. Our clients select us because they deserve
a certain result. We take great pride in having the
confidence to present our meritorious basis for obtaining
that result to a jury and the competence to, much more
often than not, obtain that successful result.
- Before trial, our trial attorneys narrow the issues
in dispute through comprehensive dispositive motions
and appropriate motions in limine. During trial, our
trial attorneys present a written brief in support
of a directed verdict motion. Our motions are reviewed
by our appellate team to confirm that our presentation
at the trial court level will withstand appellate scrutiny.
- Following a trial, our research and writing team
works with our trial attorneys to ensure that our successful
result is not disturbed. And, on the occasion where
there is an adverse result to consider appealing, we
first consult with our clients to make a sound decision
regarding whether and what to appeal. We are proud
to report that our appellate successes are as impressive
as our record of success at the trial court level.
Cardelli, Lanfear & Buikema,
P.C., continues to be successful because
its attorneys are trial lawyers--excellent advocates
and excellent counselors regarding the choices our
clients and attorneys jointly make given the facts
and controlling law.
