Trial Practice

A strong litigation team does more than craft brilliant motions and discovery strategies. They know how to take a case to a judge or jury and present the client's case in open court, clearly and powerfully. It takes lawyers who can master the facts, make compelling arguments, and persuade juries and judges.

Richard Quadrino and Bruce Barket are the leaders in the firm's Trial Practice Group. Both Partners started their careers as criminal prosecutors, where they began to develop their outstanding reputations as trial attorneys. Each went on to private practice where they strung together numerous victories in federal and state courtrooms throughout the region. They are supported by a team of consummate professionals with their own track records of success.

Mr. Quadrino's more recent trial victories have been in the fields of Insurance Law and Business & Complex Litigation. He is known for taking on difficult, challenging cases and delivering unexpectedly good results for his clients.

Mr. Barket has achieved a distinctive record of victories when representing clients in high-profile criminal and civil matters. His reputation and track record make him a sought-after trial lawyer.

Not every case needs to go to trial. But the mere fact that your law firm is eager and able to do so, and has the resources and track record to back it up, can be a powerful factor in negotiating a resolution. If yours is a case that must be tried, you want a law firm that is ready, willing and able to move forward with a trial with sufficient resources and talent to succeed at the endeavor. Clients benefit -- by obtaining more favorable results through negotiation -- when others know that the legal team on your side has a proven trial record.

A trial is a critical event in the litigation process. It's not enough to know the rules; the attorney must know how to use those rules strategically. It's not enough to just master the facts; the attorney has to able to tell the story, and win over the judge and jury by persuading them. That's what we do at Quadrino Schwartz. And we've got years of experience -- not just preparing for trials -- but winning them.
