Commercial Litigation

Simio & Jones, LLP maintains an active commercial litigation practice. This practice encompasses the representation of a broad spectrum of clients in civil litigation before state and federal courts, administrative agencies and in various alternative dispute resolution forums, such as arbitration and mediation. 

Our attorneys represent the small business owner in routine contract disputes, oppressed minority shareholder and collection disputes as well as large corporations in some of their most complex disputes involving franchising, employment contracts/restrictive covenants, wrongful termination, tortious interference and fraud. 

We look at litigation as a business issue and analyze disputes with a true business sense.  We counsel our clients on how to avoid litigation if possible, and if unavoidable,  we advise our clients on how to deal with it in the most cost-effective manner.  The Firm's attorneys are as adept at negotiating beneficial resolutions to commercial disputes without the resort to litigation as they are in vindicating a client's rights in a court of law through the full use of the adversarial process. 

We listen to our clients' needs and are with them each step of the way from initial contact until dispute resolution.  Our litigators put all of their skills and experience to work for our clients to help them achieve the best possible business outcome available.  

Among the types of litigation the Firm typically handles are:

• disputes involving breach of contract, breach of warranty, and commercial torts of all kinds (e.g. fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and unfair competition);

• franchise disputes;

• collection matters;

• corporation, shareholder and partnership disputes;

• employment related litigation;

• appellate practice;

• small business litigation; and

• actions prosecuting or defending temporary restraining orders and preliminary and permanent injunctions.

In all instances, the Firm's attorneys are there for our clients and work diligently with them to establish the objective of the representation and thereafter, to develop and employ the legal strategy best suited for achieving that objective.

Personal Injury

People injured in accidents are often unaware of their legal rights.  The stress upon them can be trying at such times.  Personal Injury law can involve complex issues relating to insurance coverage.  Simio & Jones, LLP has extensive experience in Personal Injury law, representing injured persons and preserving their legal rights. Simio & Jones has obtained six- and seven-figure settlements for its clients.

Personal Injury cases are normally handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning that if there is no recovery, there is no fee for our legal services.  If you have been injured in an accident, please call us immediately for a free initial consultation with one of our attorneys to discuss your case.

The Firm can give you an evaluation, at no cost to you,  regarding automobile accidents, "slip and falls," medical malpractice, dangerous toys, machines, appliances, wrongful death, dog attack, product liability, and brain injury.  We also offer home and hospital consultations when necessary.
