Drawing on Mr. Glatter’s decades of experience, JDGLAW provides representation to clients facing the prospect of civil litigation, whether as a plaintiff or defendant.

The Firm serves large and small corporations and partnerships, investors, entrepreneurs, real estate owners and businesses, officers, directors, and victims of fraud. Josh has significant experience prosecuting and defending claims for investment or consumer fraud, corporate control contests, breach of fiduciary duty disputes, property disputes, contract disputes, employment disputes (including alleged discrimination, executive compensation, and wage/hour theft claims) anti-competition claims, restrictive covenant fights, libel/defamation claims, Article 78 petitions, “business divorces”, and wrongful death claims.

For clients involved in scenarios that present parallel civil and criminal litigation, JDGLAW develops a customized strategy tailored to the situation’s particulars. These can range from a plaintiff who is anxious that a government action against a defendant will unduly delay vindication of their rights, to a defendant concerned that asserting their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in a criminal action can negatively impact their ability to effectively defend a related civil action.

Clients also may find themselves before bodies other than judicial courts, including agency panels, arbitrators, or mediators, whether by consent or mandate. Josh has experience advocating for clients in all such settings, including preparing arbitration statements of claim, litigating issues under modified rules of procedure and evidence, preparing proposed findings of fact and law, conducting streamlined discovery, preparing mediation statements, and negotiating settlements under a mediator’s supervision.

While every case Josh takes on is approached and prepared as if it may proceed to trial, the Firm places extraordinary weight on ensuring that clients understand the pros and cons of any decisions they face. Even under the best of circumstances, trial (and the pre-trial civil process) is often longer, more tedious, distracting, and burdensome than anyone wishes. In some circumstances, early settlement discussions may be warranted. In other cases, vigorous litigation and aggressively pressing targeted discovery yields the best result. At all times, JDGLAW centers upon what will effectively advance a client’s goals and achieve the best possible result.
