The litigation process, at any level, requires thoroughness, precision and creativity. Collaboration between attorney and client is absolutely essential, as identifying all potential witnesses and evidence can make a marked difference during pre-trial motion practice and naturally, at trial as well. However, it is one thing to feel aggrieved and quite another to make out a viable case, especially the damages element. Properly evaluating the viability of a litigation matter, so that the client can engage in a proper cost-benefit analysis, is also a vital step in the process. On a defense matter, although there are standard legal defenses available, more specific factual defenses can also be asserted; their importance should not be overlooked. The Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure also permit a litigant to raise preliminary objections to a claim. However, these technical objections must be asserted in a timely manner and can a significant impact on the complexion of a case. For instance, where a plaintiff seeks punitive damages and attorneys' fees, and these are not legally supportable, an opponent's successful challenge might limit the client's exposure dramatically. Jurisdiction, venue and standing are other bases to make such technical challenges. In a high-stakes, commercial real estate case involving a well-known office building along Philadelphia's business corridor, Attorney Dimmerman did just that, namely successfully objected, resulting in a dismissal of plaintiff's case outright and an award of attorneys' fees, arguably a very rare outcome at such a preliminary phase. In another matter, at the Compulsory Arbitration level, he achieved a defense award on behalf of a property owner confronting a personal injury claim. In another, he achieved a settlement in complex condominium litigation, on behalf of nearly thirty property owners; the condominium is a notable on in Philadelphia. Attorney Dimmerman, along with co-counsel, achieved a significant settlement in a legal malpractice case, brought against another lawyer in the educational context. In federal court, he also obtained a settlement in a highly complex, intrafamily contract dispute. Perhaps, one of his proudest victories was a jury verdict he obtained on behalf of an exceptional client, in a case brought by the Philadelphia Housing Authority.
These are just a handful of the many trial matters Mr. Dimmerman has handled over the course of nearly two decades. He is always meticulous and exceedingly well-prepared, strengths that bode well for his client's success. In analyzing matters, he pays careful attention to jurisdiction and venue issues, viable causes of action and defenses, pre-trial motion practice, and employing all discovery tools available. If you believe you have a litigation case or are in need of a zealous defense, Dimmerman PC wants to hear from you.
