In this final blog part about negotiations, I address the question: “is the other party likely to agree to a certain result if you present a reasonable offer?” In my previous Yau Law firm blog posts, I addressed how negotiations can save time and money if you (1) can benefit from saving or having […]
Does litigation cost more than the possible monetary relief you may get at the end of the case? If it does, you may want to consider negotiating with the other party. The past two parts to this Yau Law Firm blog addressed negotiating as a better alternative to those who can benefit from a better […]
Infants and children are injured every day in car wrecks. Many of these injuries could be reduced or avoided altogether by the actions of the adults responsible for them.
