Some small or even medium sized law firms are often embarrassed by being such and want to tell you anything else. However, I have never met a client with a problem that did not appreciate meeting the person who will ultimately help them plan for solving the legal challenge that moved them to seek professional help.

Quick and agile can be the positives for a small firm, but knowing when and how to expand, to secure more talent to handle a matter that is “sprawling,” is also a positive. This office has a track record of doing just that. Sprawling and complications is the enemy of every client and of this office. Anticipation of the other side’s actions is not something that is bestowed upon an attorney with a diploma, it takes experience, knowledge and not just in legal matters.

A full life, an interesting life is the furnace that forges common sense. The same heat brings about a willingness to listen, to see and accept the humanity in every person. Most people are tired of hearing what divide people—this office is inspired by what unites us,

There were weeks and months when the clients of this office were on the front page of the local newspapers, sometimes even national publications, but just as often their problems were resolved in quiet rooms with egos set aside and the creativity of this office being the untold story.
