personable, small-town law firm with vast
experience and a winning track record.

hands-on approach to your problems will capably
represent you.

We are committed to offering practical
resolutions through personal attention and
high-quality legal representation. Reaching fair
resolutions to complex legal problems in the
most cost-effective manner is our main priority.
Our practice focuses on solving problems, not on
unnecessary confrontation. We are specially
trained to ‘negotiate’ between opposing parties.
We prefer ‘collaborative’ dispute resolutions
to more costly,
stressful, time-consuming litigation. Our
clients typically remain with us for many years
because we help them plan for and avoid
potential legal pitfalls, and when those
problems do arise, we help them find resolution
quickly and with less hassle.
With more than 65 years of combined legal
experience, the Law Offices of Philip H. Shecter,
APC, offer a broad range of specialized
services, including:
When you need a lawyer to handle your
legal matters-whether
preventative planning and/or dispute resolution
involving personal injury issues, family law
issues, divorce, real estate transactions
and disputes,
estate planning needs, or business law issues,
contact our San Carlos
law office
to schedule an appointment. We offer free
initial consultations for personal injury
claims on a contingency
basis, meaning no results, no fees.
Mediation, negotiation
and/or the collaborative practice apply not only
to divorce and family law issues but may also be
applicable to all types of dispute resolution.
Collaborative practice, a
form of resolving disputes in a non-litigious
fashion---one that allows clients to maintain
control----working with attorneys and other
professionals trained in mediation and
collaboration, has primarily been applied in the
areas of family law and divorce. It is an
avenue of dispute resolution that is slowing
expanding into other areas of dispute
resolution, such as medical malpractice and
probate disputes. It is our goal to see the
collaborative process applied to all areas of
civil dispute between individuals and/or
businesses in order to provide an approach to
resolution of issues, which should result in
less expense to the parties and in ending the
win-lose proposition, so that both sides find
themselves in a win-win situation.
