About

About [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-1″]

Our 10 lawyers have a collective legal experience of over 200 years and our support staff totals over 250. Together, we are a formidable legal team for our clients. We are all available to each of our clients. We respond to every need of a client by assigning the best person to the task — both from their experience regarding the topic to their billable rate. We provide our legal services at the lowest billable rate available to serve our client (we do not use a lawyer when a paralegal can do the task; we do not use a partner when an associate can do the task).
