Negotiation and Trial Skills Protecting Your Rights & Defending Your Future

SKILLED IN NEGOTIATION & LITIGATION

Selecting an attorney to defend against the charges you face is an important decision that you need to fully consider so that you understand what the firm you select can bring to the table. Though our unmatched personal service benefits our clients in numerous and profound ways, it would mean little without the extensive skills to back it up. At The Hammer Law Firm, LLC, Attorneys Mark Hammer and Nicole Chiravollatti have spent decades immersed in criminal law as both defense lawyers and former prosecutors. These unique experiences have allowed our legal team to hone and refine our negotiation and trial skills to a level that consistently enables our firm to secure positive resolutions.

What These Skills Mean

The fact that our St. Louis criminal defense attorneys are highly experienced and skilled in both negotiation and litigation means that we have the legal flexibility to address and successfully resolve cases wherever they may lead. As we are able to fight for our clients during negotiations with or trials against prosecutors, we are not confined by a limited skill set, so numerous avenues and options are presented to our clients. Rather than seeking these resolutions through less-effective means, such as seeking a dismissal by negotiation rather than trial, our lawyers commit to the best strategy and path with the utmost confidence in our skills, experience, and resources.

Building on a Positive Reputation

As a result of continually exercising our negotiation and trial skills during a variety of cases and in a variety of legal arenas, our lawyers have earned favorable reputations with prosecutors, judges, and court systems throughout the state of Missouri. Attorney Nicole Chiravollatti is respected throughout the state as a personable, persistent, and innovative attorney. As she is a logician with prosecutor credentials, and no prosecutor or legal adversary takes facing her lightly. When you combine her skills and reputation with that of Attorney Mark Hammer's, you have nothing less than a formidable legal duo.

In addition to maintaining positive relationships and connections with our legal peers, we often find that we can leverage our reputation and use it to our clients' advantages. When prosecutors know that they are up against talented litigators who have handled hundreds of trials, for example, they are often much more willing to negotiate favorable compromises or plea agreements. Although we still make decisions based on careful assessments, our recognition serves to create more options for our clients.
