The questions that shape a strategy
Preparing the position
Contracts, correspondence, financial records, and witness accounts can determine the strength of a civil case. Nadeau Law examines the relevant evidence and develops the arguments needed to advance or defend your position. The strategy takes account of the potential recovery or exposure, the procedural requirements, and the resources the dispute may require.
Assessing the merits and the options
Before deciding how to proceed, it is important to understand the legal basis of the dispute, the available records, and what a resolution would need to accomplish. The firm evaluates those issues and advises you on the practical choices, including negotiation, mediation, or litigation where appropriate. Federal matters receive attention to the court’s jurisdiction and the rules governing the claim, rather than assumptions based on a state-court dispute.
