LITIGATION PRACTICE AREAS
OUR PRACTICE AREAS
“Robert Lawrence has represented me and my company in ongoing scorched earth litigation – including two trials — over the last 7 years. I trust his judgment completely.”
“David Bartels provided the company great insights through some very difficult times. His hard work and effort allowed the company to move forward and stay focused on its core values, resulting in the most profitable quarters in its history as opposed to the problems of the past. I would recommend and hire David again.”
NATIONAL
Our cases may be local, but our clients are not. We represent clients from New York to Chicago to Scottsdale.
PARTNERSHIPS
We frequently act as local counsel in federal court for out-of-state attorneys, and have relationships with attorneys in many states who act in the same capacity for us.
EXCELLENCE
As Vince Lombardi said, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” At Lawrence Bartels LLP, we chase perfection.
