Our Practice Areas
Litigation can easily become a headache for businesses, diverting attention and draining resources. We understand the relentless demands of day-to-day operations for business owners like you, where the focus should remain on core activities. Your legal team should minimize disruptions, not add to them. While there's no shortage of capable litigators vying for your attention, you deserve more than just competence. You need a litigation team that not only brings experience to the table but also excels in communication and respects your financial constraints. Legal services can feel more like expenses than strategic investments without this synergy.
With DHPW’s extensive experience, commitment to transparent communication, and dedication to working within your budget, we're primed to address your litigation needs effectively. Whether it's minimizing risks upfront or pursuing amicable resolutions, we're prepared to go the distance to safeguard your interests. Our client roster spans from large corporations to individual professionals, and each client receives the same level of commitment and attention to detail. DHPW’s litigation approach remains consistent: align on strategy and budget, diligently (and strategically) advance the case, maintain transparent communication, and relentlessly pursue the best outcome for you.

While real estate builds wealth, a downturn in the market can lead to depressed values, reduced cash flow, and minimal borrowing power.
