Winning. it's not everything, they say, but don't tell our attorneys that. Quite simply, Babcock Law Firm wants to win and that passion spills over into every case we accept. In most of our cases, we carry the same financial interest in the case as our clients, in that we get paid if our client does. The firm was founded on the concept of creating a results oriented law firm that would accept a limited number of cases and obtain great results for our clients. We have remained true to our word. We accept less than 5% of the cases we are presented with, but those with cases that make it into that 5% tend to be a pretty satisfied group of people and businesses. To perpetuate this goal the law firm emphasizes uncharacteristically high quality legal work with a razor sharp focus and no room for inefficiencies.
We make a habit of not getting lost in the hubbub of litigation that larger firms with a pyramid structure of billing clients and leveraging associates thrive on. We have two goals in mind: (1) getting your case to trial; (2) winning it.
Along the way, we don't take many depositions, and those that we do take are short and to the point. Numerous, lengthy depositions do little more than educate the opposition and the opposition’s attorneys, and quite frankly, they usually cause our opposition’s attorneys to prepare for the case much sooner than they normally would have. We are quite adept at handling (and creating) surprises at trial, and taking numerous, lengthy depositions hinder our power to take advantage of those situations at trial.
We rarely send more than one lawyer to any type of litigation event, be it a motion hearing, a deposition, or anything else. When we do, it’s usually an appellate specialist attending with a litigation specialist. In our firm, those roles are filled by different people. It takes a much different type of lawyer to try a case to a jury than it does to write a succinct and persuasive brief to a court of appeals.
We go to trial, and lawyers know it. When you are represented by Babcock Law Firm, the opposing party will know that you are willing to take the case all the way to a verdict if necessary; this fact alone never hurts, and you would be surprised how many lawyers are not willing to go the distance.
Very often we find ourselves in a David and Goliath situation with adverse counsel being from a firm with 200+ lawyers. While those firms are busy being distracted with discovery motions and leveraging their associates’ billable hours, we are getting ready for trial.
We have found that our approach allows the firm to handle cases from the simplest matters to the most complex matters in an efficient yet particularly effective way.
Many companies who have had to defend cases brought by Babcock Law Firm or tried to sue clients that were defended by Babcock Law Firm are so impressed with our work that they hire us themselves the next time around. In fact, some of our largest, most satisfied clients have come to us this way.
Vince Lombardi was the one that said winning is not everything, but wanting to win is. Our attorneys want to win; if you do to, you came to the right place.
