Resolving business disputes does not mean "posturing" for trial; it requires a thorough understanding of the client's business, diligent preparation and a commitment to prevail at trial. Only from this position of strength can effective out-of-court results be obtained.

Our commercial litigation practice encompasses numerous sub-practices in a variety of areas. Attorneys at Goodman, Allen & Filetti are able to draw upon their vast experience in a wide variety of matters, including claims involving breach of contract, business torts, the uniform commercial code, employment and wrongful discharge disputes, real estate disputes, insurance coverage and bad faith claims, creditors' rights, and products liability. We provide cost effective and prudent counsel, based upon extensive litigation experience, recognizing that each client has unique business goals. Indeed, in cases where litigation may not be the appropriate solution, we routinely pursue other available options, including mediation, arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.

Although our commercial litigation team both prosecutes and defends claims by and against commercial entities, we routinely provide assistance to businesses of all sizes defending against claims by consumers and individuals. As an example, our attorneys serve as exclusive local counsel in Central Virginia and Hampton Roads for warranty claims filed against one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the United States and have prevailed at jury trials defending such claims.

Attorneys who have spent countless hours inside the courtroom can best position their clients for success outside the courtroom. The attorneys at Goodman, Allen & Filetti have an outstanding record of successfully, and cost-effectively, resolving business and commercial disputes both in Virginia and nationwide.
