An AV-Rated Litigation Boutique, Hanszen Laporte is the formal combination of the trial skills of Kent M. Hanszen and Anthony L. Laporte. For over ten years Mr. Hanszen and Mr. Laporte, both individually and collectively, have been taking cases to trial and winning. Their unique and specialized firm is designed to take advantage of their experience and skills and, most importantly, to meet the needs of their clients.

Hanszen Laporte's clients know that they have lawyers and a law firm that are responsive, respectful and skilled at creating real solutions to legal disputes. The Firm provides its clients a road map through the distance of a trial, while also identifying opportunities to resolve the dispute along the way. The Firm strives to give its clients a full spectrum of legal solutions, with full disclosure of the potential costs and associated risks.

When confronted with a dispute, a client's first goal in hiring an attorney is to have him take control and handle the problem. However, the ultimate goal in retaining the attorney is obtaining a successful result.

This is the only goal of Hanszen Laporte. The Firm views success only through the eyes of its clients. Did the verdict vindicate the client? Was business disruption minimized? Is the client satisfied?

Today's legal environment is challenging to both corporations and individuals. In this dynamic and fluid legal world, competitors, governments, employers, employees, consumers and even business partners can create unforeseen legal problems. These issues can turn into obstacles and hazards that must be navigated. And, if you do not have the right navigator to steer the ship, "business as usual" is quickly derailed and business suffers.

For over a decade, the founding partners of Hanszen Laporte have been successful in representing their clients and solving legal challenges. We are trial lawyers. And, we are trial lawyers who know how to win. The courtroom skills of the Firm are reflected in our trial record. That record speaks for itself.

But we also understand that in many cases, legal solutions are not won before judges and juries. Rather, there are negotiations, mediations, arbitrations, and plain old sit-down discussions. We are prepared to use all those methods as well, if it is in the best interests of our clients. Because we do not fear the courtroom and because we believe our clients can win in that arena, we are able to take advantage of those other opportunities. In short, our strength gives our clients options.
