""Litigation is not only costly but is also disruptive to the business and personal lives of my clients and their businesses"" Mr. Yamin explains. ""Litigation avoidance starts early on and is a continuing effort. For example, transactional documents that create a business or involve any business transaction must be prepared with a proactive mindset that anticipates and minimizes the likelihood of circumstances that promote or lead to litigation. Having said that, when litigation is inevitable, the client and lawyer must look forward and relentlessly proceed to protect the client's interests and achieve the client's goals at all reasonable costs."" ; No matter whether a business is large or small, U.S.-based or international, Mr. Yamin is committed to addressing each of his clients' unique situations "" including their changing needs and broader goals. ""A lawyer is also a counselor and as such must see the entire forest as well as the single tree that is at issue at the moment,"" he states. ""A legal victory for the moment that sacrifices goal momentum or future aspirations is a shallow and short-sighted victory. I aspire to insure that the actions of the moment advance long-term client objectives and productivity.""
