The shock is real. So are the deadlines.
Being served with a lawsuit can make it feel as though everything is at risk. Fear can cloud judgment, but ignoring the papers or trying to improvise a defense can make the situation worse. The first job is to understand the claims, preserve your rights, and respond on time.
Do not go it alone
Self-representation may appear to save money, but litigation has rules, deadlines, evidentiary requirements, and strategic consequences that are easy to miss. This is what a litigation attorney is for: to assess the exposure, identify defenses, and build a disciplined plan.
Bring the complete file
Save the summons, complaint, contracts, emails, text messages, invoices, photographs, and any insurance correspondence. Do not alter or discard information that may be relevant.
Matters we handle
The office handles business litigation, real estate litigation, breach-of-contract claims, ownership and payment disputes, and related civil matters for plaintiffs and defendants.
Strategy, then execution
Nearly 30 years of experience helps Henrik evaluate what the evidence supports, what the other side may do next, and which combination of negotiation, motion practice, discovery, mediation, or trial preparation best protects the client’s objective.
When the lawsuit becomes your worry, it becomes ours too—and you should be able to reach your lawyer.
Accessible when pressure rises
Lawsuits are extremely stressful. Being unable to reach the attorney responsible for the case only compounds that stress. Henrik remains accessible by phone, email, or arranged conference so clients can ask questions, receive updates, and understand why the strategy may evolve.
Your concerns guide the plan
Some clients need to protect a company, a property, a contract right, or personal assets. Others need to recover money or stop harmful conduct. The legal strategy begins with what is at stake for you.
