Personal Injury

The attorneys at Karlin & Karlin negotiate with the insurance companies to obtain a fair settlement that fully compensates the injured party.

Business Litigation
Given the ubiquitous use of contracts in every aspect of business life, contract disputes are bound to arise from time to time. When they do, it is essential that the problem be isolated and resolved appropriately, without unnecessarily draining time, money, or the attention of the business owners and managers away from their regular business operations.

The firm’s business litigation practice also includes partnership disputes in business dissolutions, succession issues, and other matters.
