Areas of Assistance

The staff at Bulman Dunie has extensive experience in all areas of Civil Litigation. The following is brief example of some of the areas in which Bulman Dunie can assist you:

• commercial litigation: including collection and business and contract disputes
• professional malpractice
• real estate disputes: including title disputes, mortgage problems, and foreclosures
• appellate issues in all areas
• insurance disputes: including bad faith claims and insurance malpractice for automobile, property and casualty policies
• special education issues
• alternative dispute resolution including the representation of parties involved in alternative dispute resolution or conducting actual alternative dispute resolution meetings for parties involved in mediation and/or litigation.

We are here to assist you in every step of the process

Bulman Dunie will respond to your issues quickly and thoroughly. In some instances your interests are better served through mediation or alternative dispute resolution. Mediation or alternative dispute resolution can eliminate the need for complicated court involvement. Should mediation or alternative dispute resolution be used, a Bulman Dunie staff member will oversee this process with you from start to finish.

Where litigation is recommended, Bulman Dunie will work diligently with you to prepare and file the appropriate court documents and to represent your interests fully before the appropriate court. Because each and every case is different, Bulman Dunie will work closely with you to develop a litigation plan or strategy, which focuses on your needs. Our team of attorneys and legal assistants will help you focus on the essential issues. For example in a case of a breach of a commercial contract these questions are often asked:

• have the parties reached an agreement?
• how much money can you expect to receive?
• what provisions of the agreement are helpful to your case?
• which part of the agreement was not fulfilled?
• what action needs to be taken to compensate someone for his or her loss or injury?
• can you collect attorney's fees and costs?
• are punitive damages available?

Bulman Dunie will answer these and the many other questions that arise. A complete picture of the best strategy for you is developed. Bulman Dunie understands that both you and your situation are unique and our approach to your concern is individually tailored.
