Approach

Success in litigation requires the right balance of negotiation, strategy, preparation, and courtroom presence. Ruberto, Israel & Weiner’s litigators have extensive experience in employment issues, complex commercial matters, banking and securities, and construction matters.

We have a proven track record and hands-on expertise in all aspects of effectively representing our clients. Our attorneys have deep experience trying cases to conclusion in federal and state courts in multiple jurisdictions, including jury and non-jury trials as well as appearing in front of administrative judges and regulatory bodies.

We advise clients through detailed and practical cost/benefit analyses of the economic value of cases. When appropriate, our attorneys will recommend alternative methods of resolving conflicts, such as arbitration or mediation settings. Our litigation team is adept at cost-effective management of both large, complex cases and less complicated matters.
