TRIALS:

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
A trial may not be the only way to resolve a dispute. It may become the only way through a lack of experience with alternative methods of dispute resolution. The attorneys in the trial group at Caplan and Earnest LLC are committed to finding the most cost-effective solution for you. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who know the advantages, disadvantages and pitfalls of mediation and arbitration. We have successfully resolved complex business disputes, catastrophic personal injury claims and intricate real estate transactions.
The trial group at Caplan and Earnest LLC can help you sort through the issues that stand in the way of resolving disagreements before they escalate into full-blown litigation. If you have a problem that is moving toward the courthouse, our trial group attorneys may be able to suggest ways to stop that momentum and put an end to the dispute.
APPEALS:
A trial judgment in your favor is not worth much if it cannot stand up on appeal. Members of the trial group at Caplan and Earnest LLC have successfully argued cases before the Colorado Court of Appeals, the Colorado Supreme Court and the 9th and 10th Circuit Courts of Appeals. The skills and experience necessary to win a trial are not necessarily the tools needed to preserve your victory on appeal. We have attorneys who devote a substantial portion of their practice to the intricacies of appellate work and know how to preserve a hard-fought victory.
