Barton Cerjak: When Winning Really Matters

“Uncompromising advocacy” isn’t just a tagline for us. Success is measured by results and it is achieved by zealously advocating for every client in every case. Although each dispute presents its own nuances, the overarching objective remains constant: how to achieve the client’s goals in an efficient and cost-effective manner? This is why at the outset of every engagement, we partner with our clients to understand how they define a “win,” develop a strategy to achieve that win, and offer a range of fee structures to make that vision a reality.  

A Results-Oriented Firm

Litigation is time-consuming and expensive. And because no two clients are the same, implementing a strategy that comports with each client’s objectives and developing a cost structure to achieve those objectives requires both collaboration and flexibility. There is never a one-size-fits-all approach. Barton Cerjak was founded on the notion that judges and juries—not inflexible revenue models—should determine who wins and who loses a given dispute. We like to bet on ourselves and are open to offering a variety of fee structures to suit our clients’ individual needs, thus promoting an alignment of interests. Whether that means handling a matter on an hourly basis, on a contingency, or through a hybrid arrangement, we are committed to what really matters: notching victories for our clients.

A Client-Centered Approach

Winning takes an unwavering commitment to both the client and the cause. At Barton Cerjak, our clients’ problems become our problems. This means we are always available to address each and every question a client has about the legal matter it is facing. It also means that the word “quit” is not in our lexicon. These commitments to each client are, at their core, what it means to be an uncompromising advocate. Litigation is stressful, chaotic, and foreign to most people. When clients know that a trusted, loyal advocate is fighting to protect their interests, relationships are forged, clarity is obtained, and the parties work together to achieve the stated objective. That is how you win cases. We have staked our reputation on it.

The last few decades have seen dramatic changes in our laws and in our courts. In some respects, these changes have brought us a justice system that is increasingly responsive to the interests of everyone. In other respects, these changes have left us with a system that is complex, expensive, and can lead to unfair results.

Managing the complexity of litigation, controlling expenses, and ensuring fair results require the services of a law firm widely known for excellence in service, consistency in results and integrity in the way it renders legal services. These three principles have been the foundation of our success since we were established.

Excellence. At Crivello, Nichols, and Hall, S.C. our clients get more than a promise when they need representation in the courtroom. They get solid performance from a law firm whose members have successfully represented industry, government, insurance companies and individuals for over 60 years. They also receive the services of lawyers with state-of-the-art facilities and who are uniformly recognized by their peers and the judiciary as leaders in the profession.

Consistency. No amount of experience, or even superior ability, is sufficient if the performance of an attorney or law firm is inconsistent. We understand that consistency is the basis for most long-term business relationships. Therefore, whether our clients are coming to us for the first or fiftieth time, they are provided the same level of dedication and performance. Our consistency is evidenced by the growing list of corporate and business clients who have been with us for two, three and even four decades.

Integrity. The integrity of a law firm is the thread that ties together all aspects of the relationship between client and lawyer. Successful legal representation is based as much on the integrity with which the legal services are rendered as on the proficiency of the attorney. Strict adherence to this belief has earned Crivello, Nichols, and Hall, S.C. its reputation as a law firm that deals honestly and fairly with clients, peers and the judiciary.

National Services. Over the years, in response to the needs of our clientele, our firm began to assume a national character. Today, Crivello, Nichols, and Hall manages and directly provides legal services in almost every State in the United States.
