He approaches every matter as an experienced trial lawyer – early assessment of the real issues and razored focus on a path to resolution. This avoids getting mired in the clutter of extraneous issues with unnecessary, costly discovery. What is important is focusing on what legally needs to be proved or disproved at trial, and then developing a strategic plan to accomplish that and develop the most efficient resolution of the matter. Having tried 50 civil cases and dozens of arbitrations, Jim knows what would, and does, happen at trial and how to prepare for it in the most focused, cost-efficient manner. https://www.fitzlegalconsult.com/biography daily 0.75 2024-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9751f7b6ff020bb0f0253c/1605023528352-K45FHHY4ELT0WII22M81/IMG_7097.jpg Biography https://www.fitzlegalconsult.com/specialties daily 0.75 2020-11-02 https://www.fitzlegalconsult.com/about daily 0.75 2020-11-02 https://www.fitzlegalconsult.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2020-10-30 https://www.fitzlegalconsult.com/home2 daily 0.75 2020-11-02 https://www.fitzlegalconsult.com/legalservices daily 0.75 2020-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f9751f7b6ff020bb0f0253c/1605756768486-JHMF9S6AGA88Q79M2XFB/shutterstock_1098684290.jpg Legal Services - Mediation Over his 40 years in practice, Jim Fitzgerald has helped clients resolve a variety of business disputes involving many areas of the law in a wide range of industries.
