Effective
The attorneys at SF&E are seasoned, energetic advocates who always look for the right solution to our clients' problems, and the most efficient manner of getting there. We attempt to resolve cases at the earliest point possible, by settlement or using alternative means of dispute resolution. But we realize that not all cases can be resolved outside of the courtroom. Our seasoned trial lawyers are prepared to represent our clients in the courts when necessary.
In addition to using tools like arbitration and mediation in servicing our clients, several Smith Freed & Eberhard attorneys have advanced training in these areas, and are asked to analyze and settle disputes for other parties. The insights obtained during these experiences are significant, and benefit the firm on the whole.
Empowered
At Smith Freed & Eberhard P.C., a lead attorney supervises each case, supported by associate attorneys, paralegals, and staff. Our staff has at their disposal the best tools available. State-of-the-art technology makes our research and communication extremely efficient, and we invest wisely in litigation technology to achieve better results. In addition to directing the efforts of their teams, our partners and lead attorneys mentor our new associates. This allows our newer attorneys to, one day, be successful litigators.
Engaged
As a firm, Smith Freed & Eberhard P.C. is an active, vocal member of the Pacific Northwest legal and business communities. Our attorneys are prolific writers and speakers on a wide variety of both prescient and historical topics in the legal and insurance fields. In addition to various self-published periodicals, SF&E attorneys contribute to legal and industry publications. Over the years these publications have received substantial positive feedback from clients and others. Smith Freed & Eberhard's CLE (Continuing Legal Education) Program often sends attorneys into industry gatherings and clients' offices to speak on recent rulings, precedents, and legislative developments which may affect their businesses.
