The attorneys then assist their employer clients to evaluate all facts presented against a backdrop assessment of liability for damages, if any. The attorneys at Sundstedt & Goodman Law Offices strive to zealously advocate for their employer clients and help them to make the best business decision they can, in light of all circumstances presented.
