Our Approach

We think of the attorney-client relationship as a partnership. The idea is not to work “for” but rather to work “with” our clients. You shouldn’t be removed from your case or how it is handled. You shouldn’t have to ask about the status of your matter. You shouldn’t retain a lawyer only to learn that your matter is actually be handled by a junior associate or a paralegal. That’s not how partnerships work.

Successful partnerships start with smart beginnings. We take the initial consultation process with our clients very seriously. Some lawyers see it as a time to market themselves and “sign” the client. We do not. We see the initial consultation as a time to decide whether we are a “fit”. Are we the right Firm for you? Are you the right client for us? Can we work together to resolve your legal issue and get you the results you are looking for? We listen carefully so we can fully appreciate the issues, understand your concerns, and know the results you desire. We then bring decades of diverse experience in all sorts of business and legal matters to the table as we give you our assessment and explain your options. Only then do we decide whether we are a “fit”. You decide whether you want us to represent you and we decide whether we think that we can represent you.

Once the attorney-client relationship is established, diligent pursuit of our clients’ goals follows. We research and develop each matter to its fullest and utilize all of our resources to maximize the potential for the best possible outcome. We pride ourselves on finding creative and innovative solutions to legal issues. But sometimes court intervention is required. We’re comfortable in a courtroom. We are proud of our rate of success in court and have earned the respect of judges and Court staff.
