Jeffrey J. Hewitt has a proven talent for helping his clients navigate their way through the often complicated areas of commercial, estate and employment litigation and municipal law. He understands the benefits of both a negotiated resolution and a trip to the courthouse, and provides his clients the expert advice they need to resolve their problems.
“Integrity and respect for the client are paramount. My client is a member of our team, working toward a singular goal -- the best result for that client. A client-centered approach helps us achieve that goal and increases the client's satisfaction with the result."
Jeffrey J. Hewitt
Experience
In a case with international implications, Jeffrey represented a client seeking to enforce a judgment against a foreign government. The hurdles in collecting from a sovereign nation are monumental, but Jeffrey and his team persevered, ultimately resolving a lengthy and difficult dispute.
"After traveling to five different countries on two continents, I was able to coordinate efforts that brought about a resolution for our client, thereby enabling him to focus on his core business without the ongoing pressures of litigation."
