The core of Drought, Drought & Bobbitt’s practice is litigation in state and federal courts. In fact, many of our clients are referred to us from transactional attorneys who practice in areas where we litigate. Our unmatched commitment to the highest-quality client representation distinguishes us from other firms.
We believe in the trial by jury as a fair and effective way to resolve disputes.
Our attorneys have matched years of experience in the trial courts with state-of-the-art technology to bring seamless and well-prepared arguments to trial judges and juries. Our success is based on expertise, preparation and commitment to our clients.
Our experience, skills, and success are demonstrated in part by just some the written, published decisions of the various courts of appeal below, all of which are derived from closely contested matters that we handled during the litigation process.
