Attorney Nick Oberheiden Explains Why You Should Hire a Professional Lawyer for Commercial Litigation Defense

There are three main reasons why you shouldn't litigate a dispute alone: First, it drains your company resources. Second, it detracts from your employees using their full efforts to perform their jobs. Third, without knowledge of the substantive legal issues involved in the dispute, you have no way of making informed decisions about how to move forward.

Many company executives think that negotiating a settlement works in most cases. But, why compromise if you are not on the wrong side? What if you don't know whether to back off or settle? That's why you need a professional lawyer to guide you. Hiring an attorney allows you make informed decisions about fighting the case or attempting to negotiate a settlement.

Talking you through the litigation process

One of a lawyer’s most important jobs is to help his or her clients understand what to expect from litigation. Attorney Nick Oberheiden, founder of Oberheiden P.C., believes that company leaders should be able to learn everything they need to know during their initial consultation. This includes having a clear idea of their company’s chances of success in the litigation. Your lawyer should be able to talk you through any harsh realities and prepare you for the challenges that you are likely to face along the way.

Your lawyer will advance your company’s position, but will examine the dispute from the other party’s perspective as well. Your lawyer will look for all possible ways to overcome your company’s arguments in order to build them even stronger. As litigation counsel, Nick doesn’t hesitate to tell his clients about the possible outcomes of their cases. If there is even a 1% chance of winning, Nick believes that it is worth fighting to win. But, if winning is not a viable option under the circumstances at hand, Nick would then shift his focus to negotiating a favorable settlement.

Why do you need a professional lawyer?

Nick is one of the leading lawyers at Oberheiden P.C. He believes that company leaders and entrepreneurs should get professional help for litigation for the following reasons:

1. A lawyer can identify the strengths and weaknesses of the case

As a company owner or entrepreneur, you may not have the background required to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case. Making this assessment requires significant legal experience—and ideally experience in similar scenarios. The lawyers at Oberheiden P.C. have the insights and knowledge required to identify the issues that present both risks and opportunities on your behalf.

2. Lawyers take immediate action

When facing any type of litigation, there are steps you should take immediately to turn the case in your favor. It doesn't matter whether you need to take legal action, you received a demand letter, or someone has sued your company. The key is to make informed decisions and act quickly. With years of practical experience, the lawyers at Oberheiden P.C. are able to take immediate action to improve their clients’ chances of securing a favorable result.

3. Lawyers strategically take apart the other party’s case

If your company is being sued, the plaintiff must prove its case in order to win. As a result, your lawyer’s main job is to take apart the plaintiff’s case and demonstrate that it does not have the proof that is required. Likewise, if your company needs to take legal action, your lawyer must examine all possible defenses and develop a comprehensive strategy to overcome them. This is one area where Oberheiden P.C.’s attorneys excel. They rely on their experience to take apart the other party’s case piece by piece, and then they rely on their negotiation and litigation skills to efficiently target a positive outcome.

If your company faces a dispute, don't hesitate to talk to Nick Oberheiden. He is a highly-respected business litigation lawyer who can provide you with the insights you need to choose the best path forward.
