Partner Spotlights

Managing Partner J. Ronald Denman leads the firm’s complex civil litigation practice while focusing on trust, probate, and guardianship matters. His dual capabilities allow clients to navigate both contentious disputes and sensitive family legal issues with consistent, trusted counsel.

Partner Richard W. Ervin brings critical appellate and construction law capabilities to the firm. His appellate experience ensures that trial victories are protected on appeal, while his construction knowledge serves the growing development sector with focused understanding of industry-specific disputes and regulations.

Corporate clients benefit from Partner Richard Rodriguez’s dual focus on transactional law and commercial litigation. This combination proves invaluable when business deals require both proactive structuring and, if necessary, aggressive dispute resolution – all from one trusted advisor who understands the full business context.

Partner Brian P. Battaglia offers unique value as both a practicing attorney and certified mediator and arbitrator. His focus on employment law and real estate litigation, combined with his ADR credentials, provides clients with comprehensive dispute resolution options – from courtroom advocacy to collaborative settlement solutions.
