What should I expect from my lawyer in litigation?

What does McNamee Hosea offer its clients that separates it from other law firms?

Litigation results after a lawsuit has been filed. While litigation can often be avoided, there are instances where the court has to be utilized. Competent legal counsel should advise you throughout the process. In advising you, your lawyer should not be a cheerleader; he/she should clearly communicate the pros and cons of the factual and legal landscape of your case. Litigation is unpredictable, but your lawyer should be able to advise you of the approximate costs and benefits in pursuing certain strategies in litigation.

McNamee Hosea attorneys always provide their clients with consistent and clear communication to solve whatever legal problem needs to be solved. Whether your legal problem involves a business dispute, an estates and trust issue, litigation, employment, zoning, contract, criminal defense, bankruptcy, or anything in between, you can trust that McNamee Hosea attorneys will be understanding and empathetic. For more than forty years, our skilled trial attorneys and advisors have provided creative solutions to complex legal issues. Because of our diverse practice experience, we can handle all of your legal needs within our Firm, resolving them effectively and efficiently.

What duties do at-will employees owe to their employers?

Employees, regardless of whether they are at will or under contract, owe their employers a duty of loyalty, whereby employees must act solely for the benefit of their employers in all matters within the scope of employment, avoiding all conflicts between their duties to the employers and their own self-interests. This would include refraining from actively and directly competing against employers while still employed. Further, employees must safeguard their employers’ confidential information and they have no right to disclose such information without the employers’ consent. All employers should review and update their employee handbooks and policies so employees clearly understand all such duties.
