The litigation practice at Rickard & Associates helps clients negotiate the wide array of options involved in the difficult decision to litigate a matter in state or federal courts.
Oftentimes, alternatives to litigation such as out-of-court settlements or alternative dispute resolution are in the best interest of our clients. Our focus on meeting your business or personal objectives first and foremost means these options will be fully explored and analyzed before we recommend litigation. In those instances where litigation is unavoidable, our litigators are aggressive, accomplished advocates who will do everything within their power to achieve the results you desire.
Our attorneys have extensive experience in all areas of litigation, including business construction, probate and estate, healthcare, and real estate. One of our successes involves a high profile complex, multi-million dollar and multi-party litigation concerning the indigent care program in Wayne County. We also litigated one of the first cases in the U.S. involving the discrimination of a physician when implementing and Electronic Health Record (EHR).
Some of our services include:
