Litigation Philosophy

Gorman and Associates seeks to combine small firm attentiveness and integrity with cost-effective and comprehensive litigation service. At Gorman & Associates, the client is viewed as a crucial component of the team, helping to devise a comprehensive strategy and litigation plan designed to achieve the client's desired result. The Firm's attorneys and staff realize that they have to earn the trust of their clients and respect their goals before they can properly understand their needs and diligently pursue their rights and interests. Keeping that trust is our most important goal, and accessibility, forthrightness and professional courtesy are therefore vital elements of our overall philosophy. Our clients expect an unwavering commitment to their case and we seek to establish and maintain that commitment with meticulous attention to detail, thoroughness and a strong work ethic.

Business, Commercial Litigation and General Real Estate Litigation

Gorman & Associates handles a wide variety of business-to-business matters including commercial developer/landlord and tenant lease disputes, owner-contractor-subcontractor construction and lien disputes, and business torts, including cases involving allegations of misrepresentation, fraud and unfair and deceptive trade practices. We also represent residential homeowners involved in disputes with developers, contractors and subcontractors. Whether a case involves litigation in the District Court, Superior Court or at the Magistrate level, or whether a case entails recourse to alternative resolution forums such as binding arbitration or mediation, the Firm prides itself at securing successful outcomes for its clients.

Domestic Relations/Family Law Litigation

Gorman and Associates also pursues and maintains a litigation practice in the areas of premarital agreements, equitable distribution, post-separation support and alimony, custody and child support, and adoptions, to name a few. We understand that sometimes in cases involving a domestic dispute it is necessary to seek recourse to the Courts, but we also pride ourselves in recognizing that when the parties desire to negotiate and resolve their domestic state of affairs, whether complex or unproblematic, prompt preparation and execution of a marital separation agreement which accomplishes a fair, equitable and dignified resolution may be the more appropriate course of action.  At Gorman & Associates, we counsel, advise, and assist our clients in accomplishing a timely, fair and reasonable legal parting.

Personal Injury Litigation

The Firm also handles cases involving wrongful death or personal injury caused by automobile and truck accidents, including uninsurance and underinsurance claims, as well as cases involving personal injury caused by defective premises.
