Maritime Claims: Settlement vs. Trial

Should I settle my maritime law claim quickly or hold out for a courtroom trial?

​In many cases, you and your attorney will be able to resolve your case quickly and without the need for a courtroom trial. Our goal is to efficiently maximize our client's recovery. We settle when it is in our client's best interest -- but a settlement may not be your best legal option, especially if the other side is being unreasonable in settlement negotiations.

At Arnold & Itkin, LLP, we are not afraid to take the case to trial when necessary. Our attorneys prepare every case as if it were going to trial. Every year, our lawyers try more cases than many others would normally handle in an entire legal career. Our firm has tried cases in federal and state courts before judges, juries and arbitration panels. We have received scores of favorable outcomes for our clients, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars in both verdicts and settlements.
