At Guzmán Ariza, we have a large team of lawyers with extensive litigation experience to handle all disputes our clients may find themselves involved in before local courts, once all negotiations and alternative solutions have been explored, expended or discarded. Our litigation team has a reputation for fast and cost-effective service and for exploring and providing helpful strategies to better reach the client’s goals in a litigation scenario.
We also believe that Alternative Dispute Resolution is a very important part of our law practice and we counsel our clients on procedural issues and negotiation strategies to enable them to achieve the best results, whether within the dispute process or through negotiation tactics and settlements.
