Founded in 2000 by George R. Hinckley, Jr., Hinckley & Heisenberg has developed a reputation as a boutique firm with a record of prevailing against this country's most renowned firms. The firm caters to a diverse clientele, ranging from mid-sized companies that require skilled attorneys with experience in complex commercial litigation to investors who have suffered losses due to others' financial misconduct. Based in mid-town Manhattan, the nature of our cases makes our practice national, and has brought success in courtrooms throughout the country, from California to New York.
Litigation is the firm's core practice area. We are able to provide our clients the same sophisticated representation found at the major U.S. law firms because each of our attorneys developed at major legal firms, whose litigation practices were ranked as among the country's best by the American Lawyer and National Law Journal. Messrs Hinckley, Heisenberg, Lubitz and March all practiced together at Donovan Leisure Newton & Irvine LLP, Mr. Heisenberg was also a partner at Winston & Strawn LLP, and Mr. Lubitz was a partner at Schiff Hardin LLP.
As a result of our involvement in some of the country's largest and important financial cases, we know what it takes to litigate complex commercial disputes. Because the firm has significantly less overhead than larger firms, we offer our clients large firm experience at a significantly lower cost.
In addition to our experience in judicial settings, our attorneys also have developed significant experience in resolving disputes in other settings, including the Alternative Dispute Resolution ("ADR") procedures of arbitration before the AAA, JAMS/Endispute and NASD arbitrations. Lastly, following the trial process, our attorneys have appellate experience winning key victories in the United States Courts of Appeals and in New York's appellate courts.
