A commercial litigation attorney can help settle a dispute that involves a wide range of business laws.

How Can Kepple Law Help?

At Kepple Law, we are also skilled at litigating bench trials, jury trials, and appeals appropriately for each situation. Every trial must be handled differently, and we are well-versed in the knowledge required to best litigate in each setting:

• Bench trials – The judge acts as both finder of fact and ruler on matters of law and procedure. There is no jury present, so your attorney represents you directly to the judge.
• Jury trials – A jury of community members acts as the finder of fact. Your attorney will present the argument to the jury.
• Appeals – Litigating appeals is a complicated process, and your representation will require deep knowledge and expertise in commercial appellate litigation.
