Our Experience
eLITE tRIAL lAWYERS
In the legal landscape, the roles of trial lawyers and civil litigators might seem interchangeable, yet there exists critical differences that shape their approaches, focus, and expertise. At Reeves & Weiss, we are trial lawyers.
We are the masters of the courtroom drama. Our strength lies in the art of persuasion. We navigate the unpredictable nature of trials with agility and expertise.
As trial experts, we handle the full spectrum of legal activities, from pretrial to settlement. We bridge our strength as trial lawyers to resolve disputes outside the courtroom and craft legal strategies that aim to prevent trials altogether. By always being prepared to go to trial, our clients are always in a position of strength in pretrial negotiations.
At Reeves & Weiss, we use our strengths in both trial advocacy and strategic planning to offer comprehensive solutions for our clients. We bring together the best of both worlds, ensuring comprehensive legal representation tailored to your unique needs.
Business Dispute
Experts
We are a business-first law firm. We understand that business litigation is about ensuring the success and wellbeing of your business. So we do not learn only the facts about your case, we understand your ambitions, challenges, and aspirations to ensure your story is heard and protected. Our legal strategies, recommendations, and guidance take all of these factors into account so that you prevail in the case in a manner that is consistent with your overall goals and vision.
Every case is different. Some cases require an aggressive approach, while others may be best served by a more measured approach. And that balance often changes throughout a case. At Reeves and Weiss, our strength is knowing when applying pressure will reap the most benefit, and when restraint truly is the better part of valor.
We also understand that being involved in litigation is an emotional rollercoaster that is a distraction to you and many others. Our decades of experience handling all aspects of complex legal business disputes on behalf of businesses and business owners means we can guide you through the legal maze with ease. We do not provide you with a list of options and advantages and disadvantages for each course of action, and then leave you to make the tough decision. We pride ourselves on partnering with you to reach an informed decision that is aligned with your business objectives.
Our mission is to allow you to have peace of mind so that you can do what you do best–running your business.
You face many legal challenges, including from within your own organization. Over the last several decades, California businesses have faced a growing number of labor and employment lawsuits. At Reeves & Weiss, we have handled complex single plaintiff and class action cases involving wage and hour and employment discrimination allegations for all types of businesses in a wide array of industries. We have also conducted internal investigations into employment issues for private companies to high-profile, highly public matters.
We recognize the unique challenges you are presented with during an employment litigation that extends far beyond the merits of the case and the walls of the courtroom. A product, idea, or service is only as good as your employees that are implementing your vision. Litigating against your current or former employees, who are undoubtedly friends with other employees, requires walking between the raindrops. At Reeves & Weiss, we have the experience to do just that.
Employment Litigators
Before a dispute turns into litigation, consulting with a trial lawyer at Reeves and Weiss can make all the difference in the success of prevailing in any ensuing litigation. Often as disputes are coming to head, people write emails and say things in the moment that are later used against them. The power of a pre-litigation conversation is that they give those involved a moment to pause, and perhaps vent in a privileged setting, before devising a plan and strategy. We believe these discussions are not just about the present, they are about laying the groundwork for a robust legal strategy.
We are not just about court battles; we are strategists. Before you are knee-deep in preparation for a deposition or trial testimony discussing what you meant in an email or meeting, we can work with you to evaluate the proper path forward.
Strategists
Picture this: a chat over a cup of coffee where you are heard, your concerns are understood, and your legal maze starts to unravel. That is what a pre-litigation consultation is like with us. We understand that litigation is not a sprint, it is a marathon. So we use the pre-litigation discussions to strategize, foresee potential obstacles, and plan ways to overcome them.
We are not just about legal talk, we are about proactive solutions. Pre-litigation discussions are not just conversations; they are about positioning you for a stronger legal stance. Pre-litigation discussions prepare you for the courtroom and also position you favorably for negotiations. It is about being ready to stand your ground or seek amicable solutions, depending on what is best for you. We aim to ensure that no matter what path you choose, you are positioned for success.
