Of course, litigation involves more than the presentation of a case in a courtroom.  Among other things, litigation involves

 ·  meeting with my client
              ·  to discuss the facts and legal issues involved in a dispute
              ·  to develop a theme for the handling of that dispute, and
              ·  to listen to the client’s goals in that dispute
 ·  developing a strategy for the handling of the dispute
 ·  meeting with other parties to gain additional insight
        into the claims made against my client
 ·  conducting formal discovery such as depositions
 ·  continuing to develop the case strategy, and
 ·  presenting my client’s case in trial and appellate courts.

My representation of a client includes all of these elements, and more.
