Strategic Advocacy in Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Legal disputes can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive, whether they involve your business, property, or personal matters. Having the right litigation team means more than just having strong courtroom representation; it means having strategic advisors who know how to resolve conflicts efficiently while protecting your financial and legal interests.

At Danna McKitrick, we understand that litigation is often a last resort, but when it becomes necessary, our attorneys are relentless advocates both in and out of the courtroom. Whether pursuing negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or trial, we develop a custom legal strategy to fit your unique needs.

Business and Commercial Litigation

Companies of all sizes face legal disputes that can impact operations, revenue, and long-term stability. Our commercial litigation attorneys represent business owners, corporations, and partnerships in a wide range of disputes, always seeking cost-effective resolutions while preparing for trial if necessary.

We handle:

  • Contract disputes, including breach of contract and enforcement issues
  • Corporate and partnership conflicts, including shareholder disputes and fiduciary claims
  • Employment litigation, such as wrongful termination, discrimination, and non-compete violations
  • Creditors’ rights and collections, ensuring businesses recover debts lawfully
  • Professional liability defense, protecting attorneys, financial professionals, and business leaders from liability claims

By combining litigation strength with business insight, we help companies resolve disputes while protecting their bottom line.

Employment Disputes and Workplace Litigation

Workplace conflicts can lead to serious financial and reputational risks. Whether defending against employee claims or enforcing employment contracts, our attorneys help businesses navigate complex employment laws while ensuring compliance.

We represent employers in:

  • Discrimination, retaliation, and harassment claims
  • Wage and hour disputes, including FLSA violations
  • Employment contract disputes, including non-compete and non-solicitation agreements
  • Wrongful termination lawsuits and workplace investigations

With a proactive legal approach, we help businesses minimize legal exposure and maintain compliance with state and federal employment laws.

Real Estate and Land Use Litigation

Property disputes can be highly contentious, affecting ownership rights, development plans, and business operations. Our attorneys represent developers, landlords, homeowners, and businesses in resolving real estate-related conflicts.

Our real estate litigation services include:

  • Boundary, zoning, and land use disputes
  • Commercial and residential landlord-tenant conflicts
  • Construction and contract disputes
  • Easement and restrictive covenant enforcement

Whether negotiating settlements or representing clients in court, we protect property rights and financial investments.

Probate and Estate Litigation

Estate disputes can strain family relationships and delay the distribution of assets. Our attorneys assist executors, trustees, and beneficiaries in resolving contested estate matters, ensuring that the deceased’s wishes are properly executed.

We handle:

  • Will contests and trust disputes
  • Claims of undue influence or lack of capacity
  • Fiduciary misconduct claims against executors and trustees
  • Guardianship and conservatorship disputes

By providing clear legal strategies and strong advocacy, we help families navigate these sensitive legal matters with confidence.

Experienced Litigators, Committed to You

At Danna McKitrick, we approach litigation with strategic insight and aggressive advocacy, ensuring that our clients’ interests are protected every step of the way. Whether defending businesses, individuals, or insurers, we are committed to delivering smart, results-driven legal solutions.
