It is vital to treat your legal matter from a business perspective.  Litigation is a burden –both financially and emotionally.  From Jil’s perspective, legal disputes are business matters, which must be resolved in as expedient — yet effective — a manner as possible.  Jil’s goal is to protect your interests.  Jil does this by fashioning the most favorable and timely resolution to your matter, together with you. Whether your dispute is resolved through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, you may rely on Jil’s considerable skill, experience, and problem-solving abilities.
Jil emphasizes a creative approach to problem solving, that combines an aggressive strategy that advances and protects what is important to you.  She is able to accomplish this by maintaining a constructive and informed dialogue with you, the client, at all times, making certain that together, you go forward as a team. Jil will ensure that you know what is occurring in your matter, thus making it possible for you to make fully informed decisions in your legal matters.
By recognizing trial as a last resort – having extensive trial experience in matters that have gone to jury trial, trial by a judge, or hearing before an arbitrator or panel — Jil’s focus is on strongly advocating for you in a manner designed to successfully resolve the matter before trial. Jil makes extensive use of mediation and arbitration (and is a mediator and arbitrator herself), as less expensive and time-consuming alternatives to trials.
