OUR PHILOSOPHY

LISTENING AND
COMMUNICATING

We recognize that you have a unique set of objectives and concerns, which is why we listen to fully understand the cirumstances and details surrounding your legal issues and will discuss with you, and advise you on, how best to proceed with your case. Lines of realistic, honest and straight forward communication with our clients are always open so that we are always in agreement as to how to proceed and always have the same objective. Your goals become our goals. 

INFORMING YOU OF
YOUR OPTIONS

In order to find the most advantageous solution to a problem, it's necessary to first gain a full and complete understanding of your options. We’ll explain your options so you can make informed decisions each step of the way as you move forward. We'll also work to keep your options open and to create new or different options as circumstances warrant. We are highly creative in finding favorable solutions.

ADVOCATING IN
THE COURTROOM

Although we often resolve our client’s cases outside of court, we recognize that this is not always possible. We prepare to resolve the dispute, on terms favorable to our clients, regardless of the forum. And, unlike most firms, if your case goes to trial, whether expectedly or unexpectedly, you won't have to change lawyers and pay to bring your trial lawyer up to speed. We stay with your case at every step and at every step we work to better your ultimate result.
