In Episode 31 – ABCs of What to Do If You are Sued Dan Watkins discusses the steps to take if you learn you have been sued (served with papers) or have heard through witnesses or other parties that a lawsuit may be coming your way. “If you’re in business, it’s not really a question of if, but when your going to face a dispute and potentially a lawsuit.”
The first and most obvious step is to speak with an attorney from the Watkins Firm. We work to find out the specific details about what you know, who you heard from and then monitor Court systems so that we can inform our clients of any potential lawsuit before they are actually served. If they’ve been served we work with clients to begin to assemble a chronology, a sequence of time and events which are related to the dispute at hand. Simply put, the best chronology wins.
Episode 31 – ABCs of What to Do If You are Sued lays out the elements of the process of protecting our clients and achieving a positive outcome in their case. The Watkins Firm is going to provide insight on how the process will work, investigate to construct a thorough chronology and supporting evidence and provide our clients with a real game plan including how long it will probably take and cost estimates.
Dan discusses, in depth, the steps of working through a business dispute. The Watkins Firm is able to resolve the vast majority of these cases through a negotiated settlement. This is the fastest and least expensive route to resolve a dispute or lawsuit. Dan Discusses the venues of negotiation, mediation, arbitration and trial.
