David Livshin - CEO, The Dagar Group Ltd.

“I have worked with David Fryman for years. His ability to simplify complex issues has been invaluable in successfully resolving numerous disputes.⁠ David has obtained judgments for us against tenants that vanished with years left on the lease and successfully defended us against claims by former tenants.⁠ I have and will continue to recommend David to others. He is always a consummate professional.”

 “But we have a contract — they can’t do this!”
If you found yourself saying these words, you’re not alone.

90%
of all businesses are engaged in litigation at any given time.

  • Taken advantage of by a co-founder

  • Vendor not delivering as promised

  • Partner laid claim to an unfair share

  • Competitor misappropriating your IP

If you are threatened or sued —

Dani Klein

“I've had the opportunity to work with David on multiple occasions in the last 2 years: he and his team were instrumental in the negotiations and closings of both my house sale and purchase, which were non-typical, and required extra work and attention. This year, David has diligently provided me with legal document (contract) review work, negotiating on my behalf, and making contract amendment recommendations as necessary. I would highly recommend David and his team's legal work. They are personable and make recommendations for their client's benefit.”

Our Strategic Advantage

Boutique Service

Successful outcomes start with strong relationships. Our operations mean you can expect a warm connection, and a partner who picks up the phone when you need them.

Competitive Rates

Big-name firms = big-name price tags. Thanks to our tight, low-overhead operation, we provide the same expert service without budget-choking prices.

Niche specialists

We know that your lawsuit is too critical to entrust to a generalist. For over a decade, commercial litigation is all we’ve done — and it’s the only kind of work we accept.

Creative Problem Solving

When facts are hard to prove, you need out-of-the-box. Our greatest successes involve messy cases — when the path is not straightforward, and typical strategies won’t work.

Strategic Storytelling

In most lawsuits, the best storyteller wins. We turn complicated lawsuits into compelling legal briefs that sway judges and juries.

Customized Guidance

Litigation is not always the answer. We look at your business and your needs to carve a path that protects your money, headspace, and reputation.

 
 
 
 

“With regard to litigation, David understands the nuance of a conflict and can quickly surmise the outcomes of each option presented to him. He is objective and can see the potential results of each option.”

— Michael Schwartz, Founder and CEO of Organic Food Incubator

Litigation is serious. Your entire business may be at risk. You need to secure the right partner.

But we’re not the right fit for everyone.

We will only accept your case if we’re confident in our ability to help.
