Steve Gistenson devotes his practice to thoroughly understanding every client’s business. He is a litigator first, but he also relishes the opportunity to become a trusted advisor in every way. Steve’s goal is to help clients avoid or eliminate disputes and be an asset to them, their operations, and their bottom lines.
Steve recognizes that litigation is a drain on financial and personnel resources for the public corporations, closely-held companies, start-ups, and individual clients he represents. Regardless of the matter—contracts, real estate, business torts, labor and employment, debtor-creditor issues, bankruptcy, business divorces, child custody, will contests and probate challenges, data security, intellectual property, leasing, antitrust, or licensing, to name a few—his approach is always to promptly and efficiently resolve disputes in a manner that best serves his clients.
“I want to work alongside every client to address and resolve issues that arise in its business, whether the problem involves litigation or otherwise.”
