Diverse Experience in Civil Litigation Matters

Many of the attorneys of Stubbs & Perdue, P.A. are actively involved in civil litigation in state and federal courts and before administrative agencies and arbitrators. We travel throughout the United States meeting with clients, investigating facts, taking depositions, and appearing in court.

We offer particular expertise in:

• Business and commercial litigation — transactions, contract disputes, construction disputes, collections
• Employment matters — non-compete agreements
• Real estate litigation — transaction disputes, landlord-tenant disputes, foreclosure and eviction proceedings
• Bankruptcy court — debtor representation and creditors' claims in Chapter 11 or 12 proceedings
• Probate litigation — will contests, breach of fiduciary duty, claims against the estate
• Insurance disputes — bad faith denial of claims, policy exclusions, uninsured motorist coverage

Prepared to Protect Your Interests

We are equally at ease trying a small case in a local district court and litigating a complex multi-party, multi-claim case in the state superior or federal district court. Appellate work is also one of our strengths. Our adversaries have included solo practitioners and the largest law firms in New York and around the country.

We are active courtroom lawyers, trying cases on a regular basis in many venues. When it benefits our clients, however, we are diligent in pursuing a settlement and adept at alternative dispute resolution such as mediation and arbitration. An important part of our practice is advising clients how to avoid litigation.

We staff cases carefully, avoiding duplication of lawyers’ time and making effective use of paralegals. Early case analysis, identification of realistic goals, and case budgeting are stressed. We are particularly known for our efficiency and competence in discovery. When possible, we use interviewing and informal means of fact-gathering to avoid the time and expense of depositions and other formal discovery.

Attorney Referrals Welcome: We are frequently called upon to work closely with in-house counsel in dispute resolution, or initiating or defending lawsuits. We have also served as local counsel for out-of-state attorneys in a number of cases, performing whatever role is required for the situation.
