Welcome to litigationprevention.org!
If you are here, you recognize the reality that lawsuits can destroy months of effort, businesses, and even lives.
We can uniquely help - through:
- Our “All Mandatory Trainings Workshops™,” carefully designed not to anger, divide, and themselves cause liability (conventional forced training has caused deaths and litigation - and can cause liability for you),
- Our ambitious CD-ROM-based product, "Attaining American Dreams !!!!!! TM," also carefully designed not to anger, divide, and itself cause liability - and positioned as a gift from the CEO, for a host of reasons,
- Our consulting services,
- Our unique means of lessening the chances of liability caused by individual employees who worry you, and even
- The legal consulting services of our Harvard JD/MBA CEO, offered independently.
Anger management (designed not to anger and itself cause liability!), California's newly mandated anti-sexual harassment training (designed not to anger and itself cause liability!), our "Asset Protection Strategies™ - Business And Personal™," and far more! Of course they are all included in "Attaining American Dreams !!!!!! TM," and can be included in our workshops as well!
We also offer employee certification (we handle all the details) in both legal and productivity-improvement subject areas - through both our workshops and our CD-ROM-based product - for insurance, litigation, and employee improvement purposes.
What we do!
Simply put, we help businesses and individuals (1) prevent being sued, and (2) prevent adverse consequences if they are sued.
(As to "prevent adverse consequences if they are sued," a key tip from our Asset Protection Strategies™ - Business And Personal™ is that transferring an asset years before a lawsuit may be perfectly legal - and protect you and your business or other organization from creditors - whereas transferring that same asset in contemplation of or during or after a lawsuit can be deemed by a court to constitute a voidable “fraudulent conveyance.” Thus, plan well and act early!)
In other words, we help prevent litigation and its adverse consequences (consumption of time, consumption of money, opportunity costs, “off-the-charts” worries, asset protection problems, other "Hell On Earth if you lose" problems, including your dog and others disowning you, etc.). Hence, our name: litigationprevention.org!
If you are a CEO or other executive with loss prevention responsibilities, we respectfully invite you to note well what we can offer you and your organization.
The Ultimate Equation - which we employ for your benefit (ask!)...
| Employee wellness | = | Litigation prevention |
| Employee enrichment | Violence deterrence | |
| Employee improvement | Productivity improvement | |
| Employee recognition | Bottom line enhancement | |
| Attitude/Knowledge/Action™ | Increased self-worth | |
| Greater regard for customers | Increased others-worth | |
| Greater regard for colleagues | Greater regard for management | |
| Inspiration and perspiration | Reduced risk and more goodies for all! |
Some better - no, great! - news is...
...that the products and services we offer allow businesses to
Add Value While Reducing Risk
...and that is a nifty feat!
But WE would never get sued!
No business is immune, and any thoughts to the contrary are fanciful. For example:
- Sexual harassment invades the workplace - or at least allegations of same do. Lawsuits follow.
- Other forms of discrimination invade the workplace - or at least allegations of same do. Lawsuits follow.
- A stalker invades the workplace. Violence and lawsuits follow.
- A layed-off employee fails to land on his feet and invades the workplace - even years later. Violence and lawsuits follow.
- A volatile employee is fired. Violence and lawsuits follow.
- Employees insufficiently respect each other. Violence and lawsuits follow.
- Individuals "suck up and kick down" in their behavioral patterns within the organization. Violence and lawsuits follow.
- Danger signs are unrecognized, under-appreciated, deflected to "someone else's" desk, or ignored. Violence and lawsuits follow.
- The wrong people are allowed to hire - or, in other ways, people are hired who never should have been, and despite danger signals having been discernable. Violence and lawsuits foilow.
- Organizational superiors are allowed to infuriate. Violence and lawsuits follow.
- A customer is irate. Violence and lawsuits follow.
We provide (= our products and services include):
- Workshops, attorney-designed and counselor-designed
- A wonderful, CD-ROM based resource for your employees
- A unique means of lessening the potential damage and liability from particlular employees who worry you
- Consultation
- Related legal services, including litigation (independently provided by our CEO, a graduate of Harvard Law School, Harvard Business School, and Yale, and a member of the California, New York, and Massachusetts Bars)
How we do it! And why we are unique!
We accomplish helping you prevent lawsuits through education, insights, strategies, wisdom, helping you inspire your employees, encouraging Attitude/Knowledge/Action™ and regard for others - including customers, peers, and you - etc..
People don't shoot and sue others when they are feeling better about their life prospects, themselves, and, therefore - surprise, surprise! - others. We uniquely make use of this reality - instead of angering employees through “lecturing” - which can itself result in liability, and even deaths, as has already happened (for example, in the case of killings by a Lockheed employee in Mississippi).
Moreover, our approach (ask!) uniquely allows targeted courses for employees who worry you, without their knowing they are the course target - for further potential damage and liability reduction.
Who we are!
Although all attempts to walk on water have been in vain, you may find our credentials interesting.
One of our professionals - our CEO - is a graduate of Harvard Law School, Harvard Business School, and Yale, and a member of the California, New York, and Massachusetts Bars. (Why aren’t all lawyers and law firms able to say that?) An interesting blend of Attila The Hun and Mother Teresa, he is less talented than he would like in SO many areas - but always chasing dreams(!) - and opponents on the other side of a lawsuit!
Another of our professionals designs and conducts anger management and violence prevention courses for parolees of the California Department Of Corrections - who just may constitute more troublesome challenges than your employees!

Because good business benefits all... Finder’s fees for referrals!
Refer others to us and, if business results, we will pay you a finder’s fee, pursuant to a prior written agreement between us. (Simply contact us to arrange our both entering into such an agreement.)
This could result in a sizeable amount of money, if, for example, a moderate-sized or larger organization does business with us.
What it is like if you are sued!
Being sued can constitute a living Hell.
Instead of marketing and otherwise running your business, you get to worry about whether it, you, and, relatedly, reputations will be significantly damaged.
Even if you are insured, your policy may well be cancelled after any settlement or an adverse jury or judge verdict. - and you will not be insured for, for example, punitive damages.
If you are not insured, you get to pay legal fees, expert witness fees, deposition reporter costs, filing fees, etc. - which can total many thousands of dollars.
If you lose your case, you will likely have to pay specified “costs” of the other side, including filing fees and deposition costs - which can quickly total into the 4 figures - or more. Moreover, many statutes and contracts provide that attorney fees of the winner be paid by a loser.
If your occupation depends upon your having insurance, you may lose your livelihood. (A horror story: Recently, the malpractice insurance policy of a physician friend was cancelled after his insurer recommended that he settle a lawsuit against him to avoid the potential adverse consequences of a jury trial - including a greater potential cost to the insurer. Both the physician and his insurer considered the suit, which alleged malpractice, to be without merit. Nonetheless, the insurer cancelled the physician’s policy soon after the very settlement it urged - which meant the physician could no longer send patients to the hospital with which his practice was associated, because physicians on the staff of that hospital were, as is typical, required to have malpractice insurance. The physician could not get coverage from any other insurance company, because his company was the only company offering malpractice insurance policies in his state. To maintain health care coverage for his employees, family, and self, he was also required to carry malpractice insurance. To his further horror, false rumors began circulating in his community that he had lost his medical license - not just his malpractice insurance - which, of course, was not the case! Not all litigation can be prevented - but some of it can - raising the question of whether he could have done anything differently to prevent his feeling like a victim.)
Whether you win or lose a lawsuit will typically be a “crap shoot,” because being in a lawsuit is very much akin to gambling in Los Vegas. Indeed, whether you win or lose will often be a question of whether a jury or judge likes you more than your opposition, especially in close cases.
And if you lose, what are the chances that your planning in prior years has had the benefit of Asset Protection Strategies™ - Business And Personal™ - which is included in Attaining American Dreams !!!!!! TM (= a jewel within a jewel!).
You know what?! Preventing litigation is better than being in it - or being a victim of it!
