• DIVORCE

  and closely held business assets.

• PERSONAL INJURY
  Personal injury claims against negligent and/or drunk drivers,
  property owners and other careless and reckless parties

• CIVIL LITIGATION

What do these cases have in common?  
It’s a zero-sum game — if the other side gets a dollar,
you lose a dollar.

In cases like that, extensive trial and appeal experience make all the difference in the world, because the defendant’s willingness to settle, and amount of settlement offer, are dictated by
just two considerations:

~ Does the defendant believe the injured plaintiff is really prepared to go to trial
   and even to appeal if necessary, and has the experience and expertise to get
   the job done; and
~ Does the defendant believe the injured plaintiff has the resources to do so.

Ted Lothstein has handled over two dozen jury trials, over a hundred bench trials, and over eighty appeals — far more than many lawyers who advertise themselves as civil litigators.   Opposing litigators will know he has the experience and expertise to fight a long and arduous battle, if necessary. 

Defense lawyers will know he is prepared to go to trial and preserve issues for appeal if necessary. In terms of resources, Ted Lothstein will take meritorious personal injury cases
on a contingency fee basis – and team up with other lawyers when the case requires many thousands of dollars to be spent “up front” preparing the case for trial.
