What We Do at Equal Justice Solutions
We Are Commercial Litigation Lawyers Serving Clients in Delaware with Consequence. Not Complaints.
We represent clients in commercial litigation when the issues at stake are substantial, whether financial, legal, or ethical. We do not accept every case. Our focus is on clients who face real damage, real consequences, and opportunities to achieve genuine resolution or reform.
We are deliberate in our approach. If we agree to represent you, your matter will usually be managed by two to three highly experienced attorneys, rather than being passed to less experienced lawyers or external teams. We maintain a low-volume model to ensure focused attention and the highest quality advocacy.

Our Approach to Commercial Litigation in Delaware
Deliberate. Strategic. Trial-Ready Business Litigation Lawyers
For clients in Delaware, every commercial litigation case begins with a written strategy. We review your claims or defenses thoroughly, analyze likely costs and timelines, and determine whether litigation is the right approach. Our objective is to provide you with the insights needed to decide whether to pursue settlement, proceed with litigation, or disengage entirely.
If it becomes necessary to move forward, we prepare each case as if it will be brought before a judge or jury. From the outset, we gather all relevant facts, formulate legal strategies, identify key pressure points, and plan discovery to support the strongest possible position. This approach ensures that our clients are actively guiding their cases rather than reacting to developments.
We do not file lawsuits simply to create leverage or expand a case load. Litigation is pursued only when justified by the facts, the law, and the situation at hand. Our practice is defined by careful strategy, disciplined execution, and focused attention to protect and advance the interests of our clients.
Transparent, Honest Pricing
While most firms choose not to publish their billing rates, we believe in transparency.
At Equal Justice Solutions, our standard rate is $695 per hour, considerably below the fees charged by other firms for similar services, which can reach between $1,200 and $1,500 per hour. Courts in jurisdictions like Delaware have recognized that rates approaching $900/hour are reasonable for complex commercial matters. Our goal is to deliver advocacy with transparency, thoughtful restraint, and careful stewardship.
We do not claim to be the cheapest firm, and that is not our objective. Instead, we strive to provide legal services of the highest quality with honesty and discipline, without the extra costs or inflated charges that can weigh heavily on clients facing important disputes.
In certain areas, discounted rates may be available:
New York clients
$595
/hour
Suburban Pennsylvania
clients
$495-$595
/hour
In Delaware, we offer structured, limited-scope arrangements, including 30-hour or 75-hour packages, to help clients gather the insights and clarity necessary before committing to a complete litigation process.
30-Hour Strategic Litigation Assessment
Rate:
Billed at $695/hour
capped at 30 hours (unused time held in trust)
Total Estimate:
$20,850 or less
Purpose:
To give you what most firms withhold—clarity, before commitment.
Before initiating a suit or deciding how to address a serious legal challenge, it is essential to have clarity. Not ambiguous advice. Not external pressure. Only disciplined evaluation and a clear, actionable strategy.
The 30-Hour Strategic Litigation Assessment is a limited-scope engagement designed to give clients the insight needed to make informed, cost-aware, and strategic decisions. This is not a disguised sales consultation. It is carefully structured legal work meant to guide careful judgment.
What’s Included:
- Identification and framing of viable legal claims or defenses
- Analysis of likely counterclaims and procedural risks
- Venue and jurisdiction strategy (e.g., state, federal, Chancery)
- Risk and exposure assessment: damages, reputational harm, injunctive risk
- Estimated costs and timelines across litigation phases
- Evaluation of settlement posture, trial posture, and strategic alternatives
- Written litigation roadmap, tailored to your matter, delivered within 14–21 business days
75-Hour Quick Defense Package
Rate:
Billed at $695/hour
or hourly discount, typically completed within 75 hours
Purpose:
Provides structured, defensible litigation response without committing to a full-scale defense prematurely
For companies in Delaware that have just been sued and need immediate, structured defense
In Delaware, this engagement delivers focused legal support during the critical opening stage of a lawsuit. It is intended for defendants seeking clarity, protection, and help with early filings without committing to extended representation before evaluating the potential risks.
What’s Included:
- Initial case intake and liability assessment
- Exposure and reputational risk evaluation
- Recommendation on early settlement or litigation posture
- Drafting and filing of the initial Answer and Motion to Dismiss (if appropriate)
- Preparation for Rule 16 or other early case management conferences
- Discovery strategy and early protective motion planning
- Clear guidance on next steps beyond the initial phase
The Small Business Program
We don’t offer this program because we’re slow. We offer it because we’re Christian.
Our reason for offering this program is not due to speed. It is offered because we are guided by our Christian values in the way we support clients.
Rooted in Catholic social teaching and our commitment to justice, the Small Business Program exists to serve values-aligned businesses with serious legal claims that might otherwise be priced out of high-quality advocacy. We are committed to the principle that access to justice should not depend only on how large a company’s legal resources may be.
This program is not charity, and it does not involve cut-rate legal services. It is a well-organized, disciplined approach to engagement that preserves quality while respecting the practical constraints and needs of small business clients.
The program may include:
- Substantial reductions in hourly rates—sometimes up to 70% off our standard rate
- Capped initial phases to control cost and reduce risk
- Transparent fee structures at every stage
- Continued representation only if litigation remains viable and proportionate
- Exploration of hybrid fee arrangements (e.g., reduced hourly rates with success fees)
Eligibility is determined by mission alignment, the financial strength of the business, and the seriousness of the legal matter, not by how many cases a client brings or how straightforward the case might be.
For small businesses in Delaware confronting an important dispute and seeking clarity before allocating resources, we invite you to reach out to our team.
We Stand Behind Our Work
Deliberate. Strategic. Trial-Ready Business Litigation Lawyers.
We have full confidence in the benefit this assessment offers. If, after completing it, you believe it did not provide substantial legal insight or a clear strategy for moving forward, we will issue a full refund in accordance with the terms of your engagement letter.
This is not a promotional gesture. It demonstrates how seriously we take our clients’ trust and our obligation to use legal tools wisely and responsibly.
Our Mission
At Equal Justice Solutions, we provide commercial litigation services with a foundation in faith and a strong commitment to principle.
As a Christian law firm informed by Catholic social teaching, we approach our role as fiduciaries, advocates, and counselors with great care, especially when handling complex business disputes. Even though our mission is faith-driven, we serve clients from all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities with consistent attention, respect, and professional standards.
We believe in:
- Dignity in client relationships
- Stewardship over legal resources
- Truthfulness in litigation
- Justice pursued with discipline and care
We do not bring cases simply to pressure others or to enhance our revenue. We avoid inflating matters for financial gain. Our focus is on offering candid counsel and pursuing remedies under the law only when justified by the facts, the legal framework, and our ethical mission.
Litigation in the commercial context is often a pivotal moment with both strategic and moral significance. We approach these matters with deliberate attention and careful judgment.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of cases do you handle in Delaware?
We represent clients in a wide range of legal matters, always focusing on justice, accountability, and the protection of rights. Detailed descriptions of the areas of law we cover can be found on each of our service pages. If you are uncertain whether your case fits within one of these areas, we encourage you to contact us for clarification.
2. How do I know if I have a valid legal claim?
A valid claim generally requires evidence that someone has violated your legal rights according to applicable law. In a consultation, we evaluate the circumstances, review any supporting documents or facts, and provide guidance on whether your matter satisfies the standards for legal action.
3. Do I need to pay for an initial consultation?
Many of our initial consultations are provided at no cost or in a confidential setting to help us understand your matter and present your options before any fee agreement is in place. If a fee does apply for a particular consultation, we make sure it is communicated clearly in advance.
4. What should I bring to my first meeting with an attorney?
You should bring all materials related to your case, including documents, correspondence, evidence, or notes. Providing these items allows us to analyze your situation fully and offer accurate legal guidance.
5. How are legal fees structured?
Fee structures differ based on the nature of the service and type of case. Some matters may be on a contingency basis where payment is only required if we recover compensation, while others are billed hourly or through a hybrid model. We ensure that all fee agreements are explained in detail before you decide to move forward with representation.
6. How long will my case take?
The duration of a case depends on its particular circumstances. Some matters may open and conclude relatively quickly, while others require a lengthy process of gathering evidence, filing motions, and negotiating settlements. After reviewing the details of your situation, we can offer a realistic timeline for how your case is likely to proceed.
7. Will my conversations with the attorney be confidential?
Yes. Attorney-client communications are generally legally protected, ensuring confidentiality. We only disclose information when required by law or with your express permission, allowing you to speak openly and candidly about your legal matter.
8. Do you handle cases in specialized courts like the Delaware Court of Chancery?
Yes. Our firm has considerable experience representing clients in specialized courts, including the Delaware Court of Chancery, where intricate corporate and fiduciary disputes frequently arise. We understand the procedures, expectations, and strategies required to succeed in these forums.
9. How does the fee structure typically work for commercial litigation matters?
Commercial litigation matters are often handled through hourly billing arrangements, rather than on a full contingency basis, because of the detailed, complex, and customized nature of these cases. Our goal is to provide clarity and transparency, and we may offer structured fee options that explain costs and strategic considerations before representation begins.
10. What is commercial litigation?
Commercial litigation exists to achieve one clear outcome: a judgment. That judgment represents a court’s order requiring a party to act in a particular way, refrain from certain actions, or provide financial compensation for harm caused. If the other party does not comply on their own, litigation allows a client to return to the court and use legal enforcement tools such as fines, asset seizure, wage garnishment, or contempt proceedings. Essentially, litigation converts legal rights and claims into enforceable results, providing both the authority and mechanisms needed to see the judgment carried out.
11. Who does a commercial litigation lawyer in Delaware represent?
Commercial litigation lawyers in Delaware represent clients in Delaware who require a legal resolution to a business conflict. This often includes companies, executives, owners, partners, or other individuals who are involved in commercial agreements or transactions. These lawyers act to protect clients’ interests, enforce contractual obligations, prevent improper conduct, and recover monetary losses when necessary. Their work combines careful review of evidence, application of law, and practical planning to achieve results that a court can enforce on the client’s behalf.
12. Who does a commercial litigation lawyer NOT represent?
At Equal Justice Solutions, our commercial litigation lawyers do not represent clients who approach the legal system seeking outcomes that are personal or unrelated to legal rights.
- It is not a matter of proving oneself.
- It is not about winning an argument to boost pride.
- It is not a way to get back at a former partner or colleague.
Our focus is solely on obtaining what the law grants you, including money, shares, ownership stakes, buyouts, or other legal entitlements. No more and no less.
13. Is a commercial litigation lawyer right for me?
The answer depends on your specific needs and what you expect the law to achieve. Anyone considering commercial litigation should approach the choice with a calm, informed mindset and a realistic view of what legal action can deliver. The purpose of a lawsuit is to establish and enforce legal rights and obligations.
Litigation does not resolve emotional wounds or deliver a grand sense of moral vindication. When clients expect the legal system to do more than it can, frustration and disappointment often follow. From our experience, disputes that persist for long periods frequently have one element in common: someone’s personal ego has driven the key decisions.
A commercial litigation lawyer is the right fit when you are pursuing legal remedies, understand what the process can and cannot do, and are prepared to make decisions guided by careful reasoning rather than personal feelings.
14. When is commercial litigation worth it?
Claims under $100,000: These cases are seldom economically sensible to pursue unless the dispute involves a clear contract breach with a solvent opponent and no credible defenses. Spending an amount equal to the potential recovery often produces a net result that is essentially break-even before factoring in the stress, time, and unpredictability of litigation. The Small Business Program can narrow this gap, yet in most situations, sub-six-figure disputes are more effectively written off as a business loss.
Claims over $1,000,000: These claims almost always warrant legal action. Even when legal costs reach $400,000 to $500,000 across a two-year period, the financial return remains strong. In addition, pursuing the matter can safeguard the business’s interests or establish standards and expectations within the relevant industry.
Claims Between $100,000 and $1,000,000: Cases in this range are less clear-cut. The decision requires careful evaluation of factors such as case complexity, the likely defenses, the opponent’s ability to satisfy a judgment, the chances of success, and the level of risk the business is willing to accept.
15. How much does a commercial litigation lawyer cost?
At Equal Justice Solutions, our standard rate is $695 per hour. This amount is modest in comparison with many leading firms, especially in jurisdictions like New York and across Delaware, where hourly rates for comparable work can range from $1,200 to $1,500. Delaware courts themselves have indicated that $900 per hour is a fair rate for attorneys involved in significant commercial litigation.
Commercial litigation is inherently detailed and time-consuming. The following provides a rough overview of the typical stages and effort involved in such cases:
100 to 200 hours to get past the pleadings (motion to dismiss, etc.)
100 to 200 hours for document discovery
200+ hours for depositions
200 to 400 hours for trial prep
400+ hours for the trial itself
This translates to roughly 1,000 hours of legal work. Cases that involve business torts or other disputes with heavy factual complexity tend to fall at the higher end of this range. If a matter necessitates the involvement of several attorneys, the total hours grow proportionally to accommodate the additional time and expertise required.
16. How long will my case take with law firms that handle disputes of this kind?
How long a case takes depends on a variety of factors, including the nature of the facts, the number of witnesses who must be examined, the scope of the relevant documents, and the court’s docket. Litigation involving complicated business issues or securities matters tends to move at a slower pace due to the detailed analysis and extensive discovery required. When a matter reaches trial, our seasoned trial attorneys manage it through state and federal courts until the judgment is entered. This process can frequently span multiple years.
17. Why will your law firm not take a commercial case on pure contingency in federal courts?
At Equal Justice Solutions, we do not handle commercial matters on a strict contingency arrangement because doing so produces an unstable and potentially harmful framework for both the client and the attorneys. Complex commercial litigation is fact-intensive and unpredictable, with outcomes dependent on evidence, witness cooperation, discovery, and the conduct of all parties over a period that can extend for months or years. When we advance all of the time, staffing, filing, and expert costs without client support, we assume financial exposure that no prudent commercial litigator should carry. If the defendant is unable to pay, appeals arise, or the opposing party becomes unreachable, the loss is ours alone.
Our duty is to pursue justice responsibly and with honest judgment, which requires a fee structure that sustains steady and careful work rather than transferring the entire financial risk of a commercial dispute to our firm.
