Negotiations & Dispute Settlement

The Law Offices of Victor W. Luke believes in informed negotiating. We begin that process by developing a thorough understanding of what our client is attempting to achieve through informative question and answer sessions and then supplement our understanding with independent research.

Research is important in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of a negotiating position or strategy and in understanding where the party you’re negotiating with will agree or disagree with you. A good negotiation concludes with both parties feeling like they achieved some but not all aspects of what they wanted, but a the Law Offices of Victor W. Luke negotiation concludes with our client maximizing their goals.

Our law firm has also developed a knack for assisting clients with the prompt resolution of disputes. We pair tactful lawyering with business acumen to present our clients with the advantages and disadvantages of a proposed plan or course of action. Our experience guides us in providing our opinion on when to be aggressive and when not to be, and our insistence on preparation puts us in a position of strength at the settlement table.

While many firms take the mediation process for granted because it has become so common, we actively engage our clients to prepare them for the experience for both peace of mind and to help maximize the outcome.

In the course of our practice, we have resolved numerous disputes both before and during litigation. In many cases, the parties had been at an impasse prior to working with our law firm.
