Business Litigation

Weiss & Hiller, PC
New York Business Litigation Attorneys

Our Litigation Approach: Our principal aim is to work with clients to establish an objective at the outset of each case and then proceed on a course which provides for the most expeditious and cost-effective means of achieving it. As part of this process, clients are involved in all manner of important decisions affecting their cases. We handle cases from inception through trial and appeal, as well all forms of ADR (mediation and arbitration). Our firm is particularly adept at salvaging cases that other lawyers have mishandled.
