Litigation

Following on Dov Apfel's excellent piece on the above subject in the December 2007 Trial magazine, James B. Reed, Esq. of Elmira, NY based Ziff Weiermiller Hayden & Mustico, LLP believes "that it is imperative in any substantial case that you perform your structured settlement analysis BEFORE you undertake any settlement negotiations". I couldn't agree more.  Jim goes on to say "I can?t tell you the number of times my cases have benefitted from my conversations with structured settlement experts who pointed out subtle issues that made a big difference in the ultimate settlement of my case".

He goes on to write in today's post "I am fond of saying ?more information is always better than less information? and with structured settlements that mantra is really true:  the more you know about structures and how to use them for your client, the better the result for your client.
