William B Jakes III
Civil Law Practice Since 1964
Civil trial and appellate practice has been a principal focus of the firm's work since its start in 1964. In the course of its growth, the firm also has developed concentrations in other areas such as bankruptcy and in mediation services. Although members of the firm have represented plaintiffs in occasional notable lawsuits, most of its litigation practice has centered on the defense of civil actions, both for self-insured entities and in insurance defense.
Members of the firm have extensive experience in a wide range of tort and contract litigation. They have been active in defending professional liability cases (lawyers, hospitals, doctors, nurses, dentists, accountants) and in litigating cases in the areas of contract disputes, civil rights, premises liability, construction claims, product liability, vehicle collisions, eminent domain, employment law, workers' compensation, and claims against governmental entities and insurers.
