Pfeiffer Thigpen
FitzGibbon & Ziontz LLP

The core of the Firm’s practice involves litigation and dispute resolution matters of all types. The Firm’s lawyers have significant experience at all phases of the litigation process, from the filing of a Complaint through trial and appeal. The trial experience of the Firm’s litigators is significant and forms the foundation of the Firm’s ability to provide sound guidance and representation to its clients.

Firm lawyers have handled over 70 trials and/or arbitrations including class action jury trials, long civil jury trials, complex trials, as well as more routine trials and arbitrations, all on a cost-effective and successful basis.

Understanding how litigation relates to a client’s financial and business goals is a crucial part of providing sound advice and developing the most effective case strategy. Thus, in some instances seeking a negotiated resolution of a dispute, such as through mediation, can best serve the client’s interest and Firm lawyers have resolved hundreds of cases through alternative dispute resolution procedures such as mediations and settlement conferences.

Technology also plays an important role in allowing a Firm of our size to be effective in managing large volumes of information. We have first-rate litigation support databases and imaging technology, as well as experience in using such tools effectively, to help manage document intensive cases, including cases that involve significant productions of electronically stored information, or e-discovery.
