We Work Energetically Towards the Desired Result

We believe that the breadth and depth of our work has given us key insight into the strategies utilized by the opposition, and how best to overcome them. In the maritime and admiralty litigation context, an aggressive stance is often necessary. Unlike many of our competitors, we are willing and able to try cases to their conclusion. This enables us to exercise significant leverage at the negotiating table and put pressure on defendants early on.

Personal Representation Should Be Personal

Of course, when evaluating your firm options, the attorney-client relationship is also likely to be a major determinative factor. At Brais Law Firm, we are committed to client-oriented legal representation — we see the attorney-client relationship as a partnership.

As such, we engage closely with the client at every stage of litigation. This not only allows us to clearly communicate case developments (in a timely manner), but also ensures that we more fully understand the client’s goals, preferences and concerns.
