At ANDRUES/PODBERESKY we handle a wide range of commercial litigation, particularly for companies looking for strategic, creative, and cost-effective approaches to resolving business disputes.  We primarily handle defense work in both federal and state court.  As trial lawyers, with a combined 50 years of litigation experience, we stand trial ready. We understand how to streamline discovery, strategically posture the case for early disposition through a focused motions practice, and effectively present the case at trial whether to a jury or a judge. We also recognize when settlement is the best option and are adept at resolving disputes through alternative processes and forums such as mediation and ADR proceedings.

We handle cases from inception to completion, and begin by evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of the case to create a risk-benefit analysis and budget for handling the litigation.  We also are brought-in as trial counsel when clients need seasoned attorneys who know their way around the courtroom.  We have successfully defended clients sued for breach of contract, fraud, misrepresentation, false advertising, wrongful termination, environmental violations, and unfair and fraudulent business practices under California Business and Professions Code Section 17200.
