The Firm
Purcell & Wardrope provides a broad range of legal services while maintaining regular communication and personal relationships with its clients.
In their dedication to providing the highest level of service, the attorneys at Purcell & Wardrope go beyond the usual case-by-case approach to find the optimum solution for the client’s greater needs. This commitment is reflected in the attention given each case, as well as the impact of the case on the client’s entire business.
Cases are assigned to a partner or to an associate with a designated supervising partner. Each client receives a realistic, early appraisal of liability and damage issues. The firm takes on these responsibilities in order to ensure litigation strategy and management that maintains cost consciousness while still moving clients toward the best solution possible. This level of service has resulted in rewarding, long-term relationships between the firm and its clients.
Case Approach
Purcell & Wardrope recognizes that the overwhelming majority of cases are resolved before trial. The firm is actively engaged in mediation and arbitration, both court-supervised and voluntary, throughout the country. The long-term benefit of this excellence and experience is cost containment by effective litigation management.
Purcell & Wardrope recommends at an early stage whether a client should pursue trial or settlement. The reputation, experience, and commitment of Purcell & Wardrope’s trial lawyers maximize the negotiating position for its clients. Opposing attorneys realize that if they do not settle, Purcell & Wardrope’s attorneys are fully capable of and committed to winning the case at trial.
That reputation and experience, combined with effective negotiating skills, has resulted in consistently favorable pre-trial resolutions, saving clients both court costs and attorneys’ fees. Clients of Purcell & Wardrope reap the benefits of the firm’s trial record, regardless of whether a particular case reaches a judge or jury for ultimate resolution.
