About Our Practice

The Alpert Firm Philosophy

“Justice, justice you shall seek”
           — Deuteronomy 16:20

The Alpert Firm believes in zealously representing its clients’ interests, with the highest standards of trial advocacy.

While we are prepared to litigate every case to trial, we believe in advising both plaintiffs and defendants of the strengths and weaknesses of their cases — by doing so, we encourage parties to come to an agreement that works for everyone early on, so that resources are spent on solving problems rather than on going to court.

We have tried many cases and will always prepare the firm’s cases with the trial in mind in the event that mediation or other settlement efforts prove unsuccessful.
