About Us
Each attorney has an excellent reputation in the handling of these matters. The focus of Jacobsen & McElroy is to provide clients with solutions and results at a reasonable expense. Each and every client of the firm is entitled to the highest level of professionalism, service and judgment. Each attorney understands the significant cost litigation imposes upon our clients. We focus on early evaluation and timely reporting. This early evaluation addresses all liability and damage issues and that allows us to facilitate quick and efficient resolutions or to provide you with our recommendations on further handling to evaluate only those issues in dispute.
The foundation for effective litigation management is a team approach and close working relationships between the claims professional, the client, and the attorney. In order to achieve effective litigation management, we provide timely reports, evaluations, and budgets. Our lawyers are extremely progressive and creative in the use of alternative dispute resolution methods to obtain advantageous settlements. We have great success with ADR and we endeavor to find solutions that protect our clients from the time and expense of litigation. However, when proceeding to trial is necessary, we provide aggressive representation.
Our clients benefit from our expertise and are assured of accountability, prompt response and a team approach with the claims professional in planning the litigation strategy. Our purpose is to advance the interests of clients with professional vigor and to conclude litigation with maximum results for a minimum outlay. The mission of Jacobsen & McElroy is to be the most responsive and result-oriented defense firm by providing unwavering service, professionalism and judgment at a reasonable cost.
