Our record evidences hundreds of favorable settlements and many successful verdicts and appeals, which have earned us the trust and respect of long-standing clients.

Whether this path requires substantive law and motion practice, or taking a matter to trial or arbitration, we have the breadth of experience, business sense, and understanding of today’s changing litigation environment to achieve the best possible result for each client.

 

Personal attention is a founding principle of our firm. We value our relationships with our clients and dedicate the time to fully understand the needs of each business and individual. We take seriously the responsibility of representing our clients with competence, integrity and good nature. This approach has earned us the respect of not just our clients, but opposing counsel, presiding judges and mediators alike.
