Trial Lawyers.
Seigfreid Bingham’s trial lawyers have built their reputation not as “litigators” but as lawyers who actually try cases. Our Trial and Dispute Resolution Group is comprised of lawyers who are experienced and qualified to handle disputes from jury trials and arbitrations to administrative hearings and appeals. Only with this type of trial experience can the client expect to receive the best possible outcome.

Early assessment and resolution.
Although going to trial for our clients is our passion, we recognize that disputes often need to be resolved in a manner short of trial. As a part of every engagement, we counsel our clients on the best strategies to avoid litigation where possible. If litigation is inevitable, we work closely with our clients to devise a strategy to maximize the possibility of successful early resolution and handle the matter in an effective and cost efficient manner. This process includes a thorough analysis of the client’s objectives, constraints and the strategic importance of all relevant issues both at the beginning of the dispute and throughout the case.
