Tredway, Lumsdaine & Doyle has always had top quality litigators and has built on that tradition as the firms continues to grow.  We have the experience, expertise, and resources necessary for the highest quality representation available in a cost effective manner.  Included within the scope of litigation handled by the firm is the defense of claims on behalf of both insured and self-insured clients.  We are experienced in the defense of a wide variety of lawsuits such as those involving product liability, employment related claims, professional liability, premises liability, automobile and trucking accidents, personal torts such as defamation, etc.  The firm also represents several self-insured clients in their litigation.  We serve as national counsel for a major manufacturer with responsibility for overseeing product liability litigation throughout the country.

Our years of experience has taught us that each client has unique expectations and goals with regard to litigation.  Some are more inclined toward seeking an economic resolution while others are prepared to fight to the finish regardless of cost.  We make every effort to handle matters consistent with the client’s preferences, while at the same time making sure that the client understands the risks and costs involved throughout the process. In keeping with the firm philosophy, we attempt to find the balance that is required to provide quality representation in a cost-effective manner.  We communicate with our clients on a regular basis on all significant aspects of the case.  We seek our clients input on strategy decisions.  We provide operating budgets and obtain authorization before incurring major expenses on behalf of our clients.

Members of the firm have been and continue to be intimately involved in professional associations whose primary focus is to improve our judicial system.  The organizations in which the firm has been active include the Defense Research Institute, the Federation of Insurance and Corporate Counsel, and the American Board of Trial Advocates.  We strongly encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution methods in all situations in which we believe that such methods would be of benefit to our clients.  We are very sensitive to the high cost of traditional litigation and, whether we are involved in an alternative dispute resolution process or traditional litigation, we strive to provide efficient and cost-effective service in all instances.  Above all, we seek to obtain the best possible result for our client.
