Litigation and Arbitration
Businesses and individuals at times
confront serious issues which may, or do, lead to litigation.
In those circumstances a client wants to have in its corner an
experienced attorney who will seek prompt solutions while
aggressively advocating the client's position - an attorney who
understands that the client's best interest is to have dispute
resolution as expeditiously and inexpensively as possible.
SVC's litigators have decades of experience representing
individuals and companies in a variety of complex business
litigation matters. We have represented clients in hundreds
of cases brought in the state and federal courts, and in
arbitration and administrative proceedings, in Colorado and in many
other states. The senior litigation attorneys at our firm,
Frank Visciano and Mark Gruskin, have a combined 65 plus years of
litigation experience, trying to conclusion many cases before
courts, juries, and arbitrators. We also have handled a
variety of state and federal court appeals. Our litigators
also have acted as arbitrators and mediators.
We often help our clients avoid litigation when a business dispute
arises. When a lawsuit is filed, we aggressively represent our
clients' interests throughout the proceedings. We are acutely
sensitive to the time considerations and financial risks associated
with lawsuits. We strive to find favorable solutions
throughout the litigation process in order to get our clients out
of the litigation business and back into their productive
business. Yet some disputes cannot be resolved without a
trial. In those circumstances our clients know they will have
at their side a litigator with vast experience in successfully
trying cases.
SVC's litigators have been involved in the defense of large-scale
class actions, and have prosecuted and defended many other
multi-million dollar lawsuits representing major companies.
We also have represented individuals in much smaller cases that
have had a major impact on their lives. We provide direct,
personal attention on all our litigation matters. Our clients
can be confident that their matter, no matter how big or small,
will be the focus of our continuing efforts on their behalf.
