About
Provided by Homer Bonner Jacobs Ortiz & Dimond, P.A.
Homer Bonner began over three decades ago and remains today at its core a sophisticated commercial litigation boutique. We are business lawyers and trial lawyers. The firm represents clients in all manner of business litigation. We also counsel clients in methods and procedures designed to minimize the possibility of business disputes. We realize that even the most efficiently handled litigation will often take too long and cost too much. For this reason, we first look at alternative methods to resolve a dispute, including effective negotiation, exploration of pre-litigation settlement possibilities, and alternative dispute resolution procedures. The firm has thrived by putting its clients’ long-term interests above the firm’s short-term interests. When litigation cannot be avoided, however, the firm will act in the most aggressive and intelligent way possible to protect its clients.
