Royer Caramanis PLC represents clients in a variety of civil litigation matters in all levels of state and Federal courts within the Commonwealth of Virginia. The majority of cases handled by our attorneys involve subject matter within the firm’s other areas of practice, including:
It should be noted, however, that despite our firm’s experience and expertise litigating matters, if we are involved early in the process, it is our primary goal that our clients avoid a situation where litigation is necessary. For that reason, we encourage our individual and business clients to consult with us at the outset of a project or immediately as questions arise, rather than after a problem has become unavoidable. Part of our goal in providing efficient, effective and responsive representation is to be sure that your legal fees are well spent, and our experience dictates that smaller fees paid at the outset of a project tend to eliminate the larger fees of litigating disputes later on.
Our attorneys handle cases in General District Courts, Circuit Courts, the Virginia Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court of Virginia, as well as in the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Virginia and the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Always keeping in mind the best interests of our clients, we may also occasionally advise clients regarding their rights to handle small matters themselves in small claims court, if that is the most financially feasible option. Many cases can be filed in different courts, and the selection of which court provides you the best opportunity for success is a decision our attorneys will help make for you.
We understand that litigation is quite expensive, but we will never prioritize our potential fees over the best interests of a client. Our litigators known that the best result for a client is typically one that can be resolved quickly and cost efficiently. While the majority of our cases are successfully resolved by negotiated settlement, it is important, of course, to understand that some cases require battle in court, and our litigators are prepared to vigorously assert and defend our clients’ rights in court when necessary. When a negotiated resolution is not possible, we will also explore and advise regarding the possibility of mediation or arbitration to resolve the dispute. Litigation is complex and often times unpredictable. We strive to provide our clients all the knowledge and counsel necessary for them to make educated choices regarding their disputes and to find the most efficient and effective way to resolve them. When the choice is made to go to trial, we represent our clients’ interests with the utmost passion, expertise and strength, making every attempt to achieve justice on their behalf.
