Our philosophy
We understand that it is our business to litigate not yours. With that in mind, we strive to minimize your exposure to litigation through consultation to assist you in making informed decisions thereby avoiding unexpected, timely and costly consequences. In the event litigation is unavoidable, and often it is, then we formulate and implement strategies to effectively and efficiently conclude it. It is our goal to keep our clients long term, not to exacerbate situations to generate more work short term.
With that in mind we also recognize that law is a service industry and we strive to provide you with the best service possible. We will make ourselves available and accessible to you, keep you informed and always provide you with practical advice. Our approach is simple, you are hiring us to provide a service for you, which is a fact we never overlook.
