It is not a matter of if, but when. Anticipate. Attack. Counter. Defense is the best offense.
Knowing when to dodge and fade is surely a great skill.
Sensing when to strike is the real art. We maneuver however
best to champion your cause and clinch victory. 17 offices
nationwide. Over 175 attorneys. Always ready to win.

LITIGATION: In January, Eisner Jaffe added a group of four litigation attorneys led by James Turken from the former Dickstein Shapiro Los Angeles office.
SUPREME COURT: Mayer Brown partner John Nadolenco represents Pasadena-based Spokeo in a U.S. Supreme Court case that involves a data broker who published inaccurate information about a man’s personal and professional life. The case is important because it will affect how and when people can sue companies that violate various laws about data and consumer protection.
