Our Results

The overwhelming majority of lawsuits resolve behind the scenes through mediation or other settlement devices, often confidentially.  But those that don’t settle provide the parties with an opportunity to plead their case in a public forum – the courtroom.  Burrows + Stutsman is proud to boast an impressive track record of vindicating their clients in open court.
