Aggressively Pursuing a Client's Defense

Attorney Karpel approaches legal representation in a personalized manner. Our firm knows that each individual has a unique background and will require a specific strategy based on the details of his or her case. For that reason, we start each case by assessing the situation to develop a customized approach. We create a unique case strategy for every client to meet each person's special needs and situations, no matter the charges they face.

Our Philosophy: When going through our decision-making process for determining which approach to pursue in a specific client's case, we take into consideration the client's financial ability.

We do not want a client paying thousands of dollars to go to trial when the same case can be settled for much less. One important aspect of our firm's approach is that we only go to trial if the client is not satisfied with the settlement. If trial is necessary, we prepare each case with vigorous research and investigation. Our firm's experience has proven that most clients want to settle their cases, and typically, they can achieve positive results through settlement.
