While some disputes can be resolved informally, other cases just need to go to trial. We are experienced trial lawyers and appellate advocates, with the experience and skill to handle all phases of complex litigation from the preparation of initial pleadings through final judgment and collection. We can help you understand the risks and benefits of trial, craft legal strategies that will achieve your objectives, and zealously represent you in court.

Our attorneys regularly appear in court and have tried jury and non jury cases in state and federal courts through the Carolinas. In addition, we have pursued and defended appeals before the South Carolina Supreme Court, the South Carolina Court of Appeals, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, North Carolina state courts, and the Eastern, Middle and Western Districts of North Carolina.

Alternatively, legal disputes are increasingly being resolved outside the courtroom in private mediations. The attorneys at Hamilton Martens, LLC are experienced negotiators and have broad experience resolving cases through mediation. Christi Cox is a certified civil court mediator and can help parties resolve disputes through mediation.
