Civil Litigation before State and Federal Trial Courts, Courts of Appeal and Administrative Tribunals
We know that litigation can be a stressful experience. However, this stress is minimized for our clients, who know from the onset of a lawsuit through trial that they are guided by experienced, thorough, and diligent attorneys who will take an aggressive approach to the litigation. Our attorneys explain the anticipated course of a lawsuit; keep clients fully advised as the litigation progresses; and listen to the clients’ input along the way, thereby creating a more understandable process.

The pace of business is increasing in today’s global marketplace. Transactions involving goods arise and are acted upon quickly. As a result, disputes and complications involving the sale of goods must also be dealt with quickly and efficiently. Our attorneys have extensive experience with both Uniform Commercial Code transactions and litigation and, therefore, when a business calls upon HolmstromKennedy, appropriate decisions can be made quickly. Individual debtors may also engage in conduct prior the commencement of their bankruptcy that could prevent the discharge of their indebtedness to a creditor.

HolmstromKennedy advises policyholders regarding questions of coverage under their insurance policies, and represents policyholders in insurance coverage disputes with their insurers. We believe that our clients purchase insurance for peace of mind, and are entitled to rely upon the commitments of their insurers when it matters most – when a loss has occurred. Accordingly, we serve our clients by vigorously pursuing their insurance claims against insurers who refuse to honor their legal obligations.
