Baker, Dublikar litigators are skilled writers with strong presentation skills and significant courtroom experience. We prepare each case as if it is going to trial, which we believe is the best way to allow for early resolutions of matters. If trial is necessary, we enter the courtroom with a mastery of both the facts of the case and the relevant law.
