Tillotson Johnson & Patton

Tillotson Johnson & Patton is a boutique of trial and appellate lawyers specializing in complex and sophisticated business matters. Though we handle a broad range of litigation matters, all clients share a related concern and a common goal: how to explain the complex and technical issues of their industry — and the issues in dispute — to jurors who are not familiar with the industry or business; and how to craft persuasive and compelling arguments in language that is easily understood and digested by the jurors. This is the main skill that we bring our clients. We are best known for joining lawsuits midstream or when retained counsel realize they need to enlist the help of sophisticated local trial counsel. Though we take cases midstream, we are most effective when hired at the beginning or before a lawsuit is filed. Our experience in the courtroom on both the plaintiff and defendant sides of the aisle gives us an advantage during the discovery process. We take deposition testimony and conduct document review with a complete understanding of how to use the information at trial. Our award winning group combines experience with innovation to tailor an effective strategy for discovery, and avoids unnecessary expenditure of time and our clients’ money. Of course, not all lawsuits go to trial. At Tillotson Law, we know that when the opposition is convinced we are prepared to go to trial and have the knowledge and experience to win, we are well poised to negotiate attractive settlements.
