OUR APPROACH
Regardless of the type of case, a client generally has three basic questions: What is the likelihood of success? What does the process entail? How much is it going to cost?
We address each question throughout the engagement.
We apply our knowledge and skills to analyze our client's cases and assess the probability of success, develop a proactive case plan, and control fees and costs.
We take pride in our ability to develop, organize and present cases, no matter how complex, to juries, judges, arbitrators, mediators and regulators.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Gelb & Gelb LLP takes pride in the fact that it devotes the time and resources necessary for it to stay cutting edge and compete with large law firms in the areas of computer research, the preservation, production and retrieval of electronic evidence during discovery, and the management of large volumes of documents.
OUR RELATIONSHIPS
Gelb & Gelb LLP has developed close relationships with other professionals who assist the firm and its clients when necessary. They include attorneys with various specialties such as corporate and securities, tax, estate planning and intellectual property, consultants and experts in accounting and business valuation, business strategists, psychologists, and private investigators.
