hitney & Bogris, LLP, founded in 1992, is a litigation-only defense law firm with an established record of successful results. We are highly responsive to the needs of our clients and we seek to build lasting, mutually beneficial relationships.  Our legal services are not a mere commodity, but the fulfillment of our fiduciary duty to protect our clients’ interests to the fullest extent of our talents, energy, and experience.  It is not uncommon for clients to express their peace of mind once a matter is placed in our hands.

Working closely with in-house attorneys and risk management personnel, we have developed practical case management strategies that enable clients to control their dockets and legal costs.  Our attorneys routinely craft breakthrough legal defenses that yield major savings in legal fees and indemnity payments.

Understanding that early and accurate assessment are vital to a successful defense, new assignments are typically analyzed within 48 hours of receipt and clients are given recommended action items for proposed investigation designed to provide a complete picture of the case.  Additionally, we employ creative strategies designed to achieve quick dismissal or summary judgment whenever possible. If a case is not susceptible to quick legal challenge, we conduct thorough discovery to uncover vulnerabilities and develop maximum leverage for a swift and favorable resolution. As experienced and successful trial lawyers, we possess the credibility to extract favorable terms for our clients and, if need be, try the case to verdict.

As a complement to our defense of our clients in court, Whitney & Bogris also handles matters beyond direct litigation. This includes preparing, defending and accompanying employees during depositions related to matters in which our client is not a party, obtaining protective orders to narrow the scope of subpoenas or third-party document requests served on our clients, and providing general legal advice regarding jurisdictions in which our clients do business. We provide advice on all issues that may arise from any legal matter and believe that our consultative function often assists in resolution and conciliation, obviating the necessity for litigation or trial.
