The experienced advocates in Pullman & Comley’s Litigation practice handle all phases of civil and criminal litigation, regularly appearing in state and federal courts, before state and federal administrative agencies and in arbitration proceedings.
Our litigators serve a large client base, ranging from individuals and small businesses to large corporations and major financial institutions. While our lawyers are seasoned and successful advocates in the courtroom, our ultimate goal is to provide our clients with cost-effective results, whether obtained in or out of court. Consistent with this goal, our litigators counsel clients in strategies to avoid litigation and are skilled in the art of negotiation. Our attorneys have significant experience acting as counsel to litigants in alternative dispute resolution settings, and several of our Litigation practice attorneys are American Arbitration Association (AAA) qualified arbitrators
The appointment of several members of the department to leadership roles in the Connecticut Bar Association (CBA) and other prominent associations reflects the professional esteem in which our litigators are held by the state’s judges and practitioners and demonstrates the level of involvement our attorneys take in the business communities.
