When the Stakes Are High, You Need a Trial Lawyer Who’s Been There

In South Florida’s high-stakes legal environment, not every case can be resolved quietly. When the deal breaks down, the contract is breached, or the other side refuses to budge, litigation becomes inevitable. And when that happens, you need a seasoned trial attorney who knows how to win in the courtroom—not just negotiate in the boardroom.

What Sets Trial Lawyers Apart?

Many attorneys settle. Few go to trial. Fewer still have the experience, presence, and strategy to convince a judge or jury in high-value cases. At Conrad & Scherer, trial work is in our DNA. Our team includes seasoned litigators who have successfully tried complex commercial, construction, and fraud cases across South Florida—including multimillion-dollar verdicts.

Led by founding partner William “Bill” Scherer, our firm secured an $832 million jury verdict against one of the largest banks in the world—one of the biggest of its kind in Florida history. It’s not just a result—it’s a signal to defendants: we don’t back down.

We don’t flinch when the pressure’s on. We thrive in it.

Where We Go to Trial—and Why

Our trial practice focuses on major civil litigation across:

• Commercial Disputes – Breach of contract, business torts, shareholder fights, partnership disputes, and complex business breakups.
• Construction Litigation – Defect claims, contractor-owner disputes, delay claims, and lien enforcement.
• Securities and Fraud Litigation – Investor fraud, Ponzi scheme recovery, and financial misconduct.
• Trust & Estate Litigation – High-value trust disputes, fiduciary duty claims, and will contests involving significant assets.

When your case involves millions on the line, reputational damage, or precedent-setting claims, settlement isn’t always the answer. Our trial lawyers step in when other attorneys step back.
