Litigation

When business disputes wind up in court, vital rights are at stake. Those rights must be protected -- capably, decisively and efficiently.

With years of experience litigating cases in federal and state courts and in administrative hearings, in the Washington metropolitan area and throughout the United States, Cohen Mohr’s litigation team has the ability and experience to achieve results for its clients. We represent both individuals and businesses in trials before judges and juries, appeals, arbitrations, mediations and administrative proceedings.

CASE MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY

Clients are justifiably concerned about the cost, delay and diversion of management and employee resources required to go to court. Cohen Mohr LLP has repeatedly demonstrated that a small team of lawyers can represent clients successfully in intense litigation, involving high stakes, and against much larger trial teams. We’ve invested in and developed an expertise around the use of technology to manage litigation efficiently and effectively present our client's case in the courtroom. As we prepare a case, we use technology to coordinate work product and share documents electronically, as well as integrating our resources with the client’s to work together as true partners.
