How a Complex Litigation Lawyer Can Help You

Complex litigation attorneys can pursue maximum compensation through a settlement or litigation. The willingness to take your case to court can create leverage – when the other side sees that your attorney is able and willing to litigate your case if needed, they know you mean business.

You want a firm with deep resources that can afford to invest money and other resources like advanced technology into building your case. Complex litigation can be costly.

• We spent more than $13,000,000 litigating a single case – which became one of the largest civil rights cases in U.S. history. The result? A $1.25 billion settlement designed to give 15,700+ Black farmers long-awaited compensation after years of discrimination by the USDA.³

• In addition to money, this effort took attention to detail and innovation. As a result of this landmark case, our firm developed proprietary software that has since earned more than 30 patents and several awards. We use this case management technology to build your case, track the smallest details, and keep you informed every step of the way.

You want a complex litigation lawyer who has abundant trial experience and the respect of others.

• We have many seasoned trial attorneys who have achieved successful million-dollar verdicts,^1* and we are actively pursuing major class action lawsuits against 3M, DuPont/Chemours, the State of North Carolina, Audible/Amazon, and others.

• We are also proud to be representing hundreds of Marines and their family members in Camp Lejeune water contamination lawsuits.

• Our attorneys are recognized professionals, so when the media wants answers, they come to us. Our attorneys have been featured on public radio, interviewed on local TV, and appeared in nearly 100 newspapers and websites.
