As a general rule, most experienced lawyers advise their business clients to avoid litigation if at all possible. The reasons are simple: litigation is costly, at times, it is very unpleasant, and the results are mostly uncertain. Most business people are better suited for their chosen businesses and not to serve as professional litigants. Sometimes, initiating or defending a lawsuit however is inevitable and one must choose a litigation attorney as carefully as one would choose a family doctor.

It is better still, though, to avoid situations that could increase the possibility of a lawsuit at all. Thus, over two decades of study and reflection, David N. Calvillo has extrapolated certain principles that, if followed, should enhance the possibility of succeeding in business without lawsuits or least as few as possible.
 
Those principles comprise "Calvillo's Top Ten Tips to Avoid Lawsuits".
