Commercial & Consumer
Our Pittsburgh Law Firm Represents Individuals and
Businesses in Commercial and Consumer Protection Cases in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio
We represent plaintiffs, both individuals and companies, in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio, who have been significantly harmed by the
illegal conduct of companies. We litigate, in state and federal courts, primarily in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio, claims for breach of contract,
antitrust violations, business torts
(such as tortious interference with actual and prospective
contracts), insurance coverage and bad faith (also known as "breach of
the duty of good faith and fair dealing" implied in insurance policies),
and fraudulent and unfair trade practices (including under state unfair
and deceptive trade practices and consumer protection laws).
Judgment Collection
We are also known as being relentless and tenacious in judgment collection
litigation.
Contingent Fee (No Recovery, No Fee), Blended, and Hourly Fee
Structures
While we do still handle certain matters on an hourly basis,
potential clients may be particularly interested in
G&O's willingness to
forego the traditional dollars times hours fee structure -- the
billable hour -- and instead handle
significant (meaning several hundred thousand dollars up to several
million dollars) cases on a contingent fee. Contingent fees perfectly align the
interests of the client and the law firm. With a contingent fee,
we share the risks of litigation with our clients, because our firm does
not earn a fee unless and until there is a settlement or judgment in our
client's favor.
We will also consider blended hourly/contingent fee arrangements and
reduced hourly fees in exchange for defined success bonuses.
Clients Should Reward Results, Not Just Efforts
We believe individuals and corporate clients, from small and mid-sized businesses to
multinationals, should see value from their outlays for
legal services, and reward results, not just efforts.
Our Collaborative Approach
For clients with an existing counsel relationship,
we are accustomed to collaborating with your current in-house or outside
legal team to achieve the results you seek.
