“We win for a reason. When presenting a case to the judge or jury, our knowledge of the case – of the law, of the facts and of the client’s business – is so thorough that very little can be thrown at us to take us off our game.” – Gary Leydig

YOUR CASE IS CRITICAL

There are cases that businesses and business people simply cannot afford to lose. Those cases require a deep understanding of the law, honed trial skills, perseverance and creativity to successfully prosecute or defend. Gary Leydig brings precisely these attributes to his clients’ business disputes, and he has more than 30 years of success in these high-stakes, critical cases to back it up.

WHY WE SUCCEED

The right lawyer matters. Lawyers are not interchangeable. When you hire Gary Leydig, you get Gary Leydig. Gary lives and breathes his client’s problems from the moment he is retained to the day the matter is resolved. Your critical case does not get handed off to a nameless pool of underlings. Gary Leydig learns your business and intimately understands your goals. He develops the legal strategies, undertakes the discovery, makes the arguments to the courts and persuades the juries. For high-stakes cases that require it, a small team of one or two talented lawyers is formed to work with Gary and the client; but they are neither nameless nor faceless. They work directly with the client. They know the client and the client knows them. The left hand always knows what the right hand is doing. The intimacy of the relationship between Gary and the client, and the first hand knowledge Gary has of every aspect of the case when he steps in front of a judge or jury are key to the extraordinary successes he achieves.
