Resolving Business and Commercial Disputes in Washington State

Although every lawyer can take a case to court, few attorneys actually do. The skills and temperament required to take a case to trial can be quite different than those required to do transactional work. That is why it is important to work with an experienced trial attorney when your legal dispute needs to go to court.

More than 10 years of attorney Joseph Rockne's law career has been devoted to civil trial representation and business litigation. He has handled hundreds of cases in superior and district courts of King County, Snohomish County, and Pierce County, as well as Division One of the Washington State Court of Appeals.

In addition to trial experience, Attorney Rockne brings an in-depth understanding of business, finance, and management processes gained from working as in-house counsel and chief operating manager for a petroleum distributor. That direct business experience gives him the ability to clearly communicate business realities in a courtroom environment when making a case before a judge or jury.

Contact his Seattle law office when you need an experienced trial attorney to handle your business or civil case.

Attorney Rockne handles civil litigation of business and commercial disputes involving such issues as:

• Breach of contract
• Breach of business sales agreements
• Commercial and debt collection matters
• Noncompete agreements
• Non-solicitation agreements
• Breach of confidentiality
• Revealing trade secrets
• Commercial real estate litigation
• Shareholder and member disagreements
• Business torts, such as business fraud, interference with a business relationship, unfair competition, or breach of fiduciary duty

Complex Business Litigation

Mr. Rockne handles simple and complex litigation, including cases that involve multiple parties, that occur in multiple jurisdictions, and that involve counter-claims.

Alternatives to Court

Litigation can be expensive; protracted litigation can distract a company from more important work and have a financially crippling effect. When it is possible to resolve a legal matter using an alternative dispute mechanism such as mediation or arbitration, Attorney Rockne encourages and facilitates that process. He represents clients in mediation and is himself an arbitrator in business litigation in King County and Snohomish County.

A positive outcome for you or your business: that is the goal of legal representation, and that is always Joseph Rockne's goal. Contact the Law Office of Joseph L. Rockne for sound legal counsel and focused trial representation.
