As one of the firm’s more seasoned trial lawyers, Ross Cunningham believes that most companies are too risk-averse to take a case all the way to trial. All too often, this mindset puts companies at a disadvantage because they do not allow their lawyers to do what it takes to prepare a case for trial, which weakens their position when they are required to talk settlement.

Mr. Cunningham doesn’t have that problem. He actually looks forward to trying cases. And, by being prepared to go to trial, he often finds settlement discussions produce better outcomes.
