We know our juries and our court system, local nuances, and laws. Even better, we know our opponents. As our firm has grown throughout the Southeast, so has our reputation for being deeply rooted in the communities we serve. We now represent clients in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
Details matter. Our attorneys pour everything into case preparation. We study the facts. We enlist high-caliber experts to interpret complicated into common sense. And we analyze the competition. When we walk into the courtroom, we are ready for anything.
We believe the best way to resolve a case is to be prepared to win in the courtroom. By creating a trial master plan that incorporates strategic settlement planning, we deliver unparalleled service to our clients — and save them millions.
With 150 years of combined legal experience, Lincoln Derr attorneys never “train” on your dime. We’re good at what we do — really good. That, along with our tech-forward mindset, allows us to operate effectively and efficiently, providing our clients with the best possible value.
