Litigation Attorneys

Strategic Legal Representation Across Complex Litigation Matters

Navigating and Mitigating Costly Challenges. A dispute can quickly involve emergency motions, parallel investigations, reputational pressure, ownership conflict, constitutional claims, or appellate issues that reshape leverage and risk. Chalmers, Adams, Backer & Wallen, LLC handles litigation matters where timing, forum, and record-building are paramount.

OUR APPROACH

Litigators With Discipline-Focused Insights

Invested in Your Win. Clients facing litigation matters need clear courtroom strategy without losing sight of the bigger picture. CABW’s litigators specialize in trial and appellate advocacy, complex commercial disputes, constitutional litigation, challenges to government action, civil RICO and whistleblower matters, and politically sensitive litigation.

We also carefully handle matters that are under media scrutiny. Our team recognizes that protecting our clients is essential not only in the courtroom, but also in the court of public opinion.

OUR LEGAL SERVICES

Litigation Services Built for Complex Cases and Critical Outcomes

Appellate Litigation and Judicial Review
We handle appeals and related briefing matters in which preserving issues, building the record, and presenting a clear appellate strategy can materially affect the outcome of the case.
Civil, Business, Commercial, and Antitrust Litigation
We represent clients in contract disputes, ownership conflicts, fiduciary disputes, business tort matters, and other commercial cases where financial exposure, control, or operational continuity is at stake.
Constitutional and First Amendment Litigation
We litigate matters involving free speech, associational rights, government overreach, and related constitutional issues where statutory authority, protected rights, and public process are central to the dispute.
Election and Political Litigation
We represent clients in election-related and politically sensitive litigation where campaign activity, ballot issues, public law questions, or related government process concerns intersect with court proceedings.
Employment Litigation
We advise and represent clients in contested employment matters where claims, defenses, workplace decisions, and litigation posture require careful coordination and practical judgment.
Whistleblower and False Claims Matters
We handle litigation involving alleged fraud against government programs, whistleblower claims, retaliation issues, and related disputes where investigation history, documentation, and statutory exposure can drive case strategy.
Tax Litigation
We represent individuals and businesses that are in disputes with the IRS or state tax agencies about tax liability, penalties, and allegations of civil and criminal tax fraud. Our team also understands tax shelters like captive insurance and syndicated conservation easements.
Emergency Relief and Injunctive Proceedings
When timing is critical, we help clients pursue or defend against temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and other emergency court remedies designed to preserve rights or prevent immediate harm.
Investigations and Parallel Proceedings
Some litigation matters overlap with regulatory, administrative, internal, or public-facing issues. We help clients manage those parallel pressures while maintaining a consistent legal strategy.
Trial Strategy and Courtroom Advocacy
We prepare cases for motion practice, discovery, hearings, and trial with attention to evidence, witness strategy, procedural posture, and the broader objectives that should guide the litigation.
Settlement Strategy and Risk Evaluation
Not every case should be tried, and not every case should settle early. We help clients assess leverage, costs, timing, and likely exposure so resolution decisions are made from an informed position.
