Litigation & Dispute Resolution
Quality and results shape our reputation for having a premier civil litigation practice
Dunn Carney’s Litigation Team helps individuals, businesses and organizations avoid and resolve legal conflict through dispute prevention strategies, litigation counsel and representation, and mediation and dispute resolution. Our civil litigation attorneys have tried hundreds of cases to verdict in state and federal courts, before judges and juries, and in administrative and dispute resolution settings.
We try to provide the best possible result while balancing the need to litigate against the emotional and financial cost to the client.

The quality of our work and the results we achieve have shaped our reputation for having a premier civil litigation law firm. Every case and client is different, so Dunn Carney civil litigation attorneys bring a fresh approach, yet a seasoned eye, to every matter. We weigh each client’s needs and goals against the strength and value of the case to find a resolution that will help the client achieve the best possible outcome.
Mediation and arbitration are alternatives to litigation that are often more cost effective and less stressful for clients than going to trial. The Dunn Carney civil litigation attorneys often encourage clients to consider these alternatives before pursuing litigation.
Our civil litigation expertise encompasses litigation, appellate and administrative law, and mediation and dispute resolution across a wide range of areas.
