An essential part of any business is trust. It is not just important, but absolutely imperative that any business owner trust his or her co-owners, employees, supplier, and, yes, even customers. Unfortunately, sometimes one of these people abuses that trust, and these abuses can destroy not just the business, but the lives of the people that depend on the income from that business. Litigation is one means to help address these abuses of trust.
Taylor Law handles all aspects of business litigation, whether you are the plaintiff (you are suing someone) or the defendant (someone is suing you). No matter what side of the table on which you sit, it is important to have a representative that understands your position, your needs, and, of course, your budget.
This is where Taylor Law sets itself apart from the others: getting to know you and understanding you is the heart of this practice. Helping you understand what your options are. What are your strengths? What are your potential weak spots? What information puts you in the strongest possible position? Again, it is important to get this information at the very beginning of any case. For example:
- Who is suing you/Who are you suing?
- Is this person an employee, a customer, a supplier, a competitor?
- Where is the other party located?
- Is there a written contract involved?
- Was a crime committed?
Further, you should bring ALL relevant documents and discuss them the very first time you sit down with your lawyer. It is important to have a full and accurate picture of your case from the get-go, or your case can end up being a shoddily constructed house of cards.
Taylor Law’s managing member, Thomas Taylor, has represented clients in state and federal courts throughout the country. This includes cases involving breach of contracts, breaches of fiduciary duty, employment law, fraud, ERISA, white collar crime/embezzlement, among others. He has first-chaired jury trials throughout Missouri. He has successfully briefed and argued cases before state and federal courts of appeals.
This record of success is based on very simple but very important tenets: get to know your client, anticipate your client’s legal AND real world needs, stay in constant communication with your client, and prepare, prepare, prepare.
Taylor Law takes the heavy lifting out of your hands, and keeps you informed about the status of your case, letting you well in advance of critical dates. You can expect a professional, responsive, and effective experience regardless of your case or how much money is involved. And if you have questions, fire away.
