Out-Of-Court Negotiations & Settlements
Free Tax Debt Analysis
An agreement reached between the parties in a pending lawsuit that resolves the dispute to their mutual satisfaction and occurs without judicial intervention, supervision, or approval.
An out-of-court settlement provides that the parties relinquish their rights to pursue judicial remedies.
Where possible, clients are encouraged to resolve issues through negotiation. The emphasis on negotiation and out-of-court settlement can help avoid an environment in which bona fide differences of opinion become protracted legal battles, where antagonism and intransigence overcome reason and compromise, and where neither party truly wins.
While never losing sight of our primary responsibility to provide clients with the most thorough legal counsel and representation, we proactively pursue favorable settlements through negotiation, because we understand that collaboration and compromise most often results in faster case resolution, substantially reduced legal expense, and diminished stress for clients and their families. The negotiation process also allows both sides greater flexibility and permits more creative solutions than can be obtained in court.
And, negotiated agreements tend to be stronger than court-imposed solutions, more likely to be honored, and thus less likely to cause problems or further litigation in the future.
The individual circumstances of our client, the positions taken by the other party as well the tactics of opposing counsel, and the personalities of all participants all play a role in determining if and when negotiations can or should be initiated and whether they will be successful.
Let us attempt to negotiate a favorable out of court settlement for you. Call us at 866.494.6829 or send us an email.
