For more than a quarter century, BartkoZankel has developed creative and resourceful solutions to our clients' business litigation problems. As a small firm, we staff cases in lean, cost effective teams, combining expertise with business insight and superior trial skills. We appear in proceedings throughout the state, nationally and internationally, including in class actions. Other lawyers hire us to develop successful litigation strategies. We have extensive expertise and proven effectiveness in the use of alternative dispute resolution techniques as well.
The firm has achieved several precedent-setting rulings in both state and federal courts, and has established a track record of creating and putting into effect the use of novel litigation strategies and structures, both for achieving rapid, significant recoveries and for defense. With significant expertise in defense of white collar criminal prosecutions, both federal and state, we were able to fashion and implement litigation plans that take into account and integrate effectively both civil and criminal ramifications of complex litigation matters. Our clients have come to expect fast personal responses to inquiries and concerns as they occur - and BartkoZankel delivers.
