Firm clients include nationally and locally recognized insurance companies, contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, transportation companies, material vendors, department stores, public entities, and individuals.

Our philosophy is to provide outstanding legal services at a reasonable and competitive price.  We pride ourselves on our ability to succinctly explain our legal strategies and to provide detailed litigation budgets on which we can deliver. We believe our success can be attributed to our consistent attention to each client’s needs and our direct and rapid response to client questions and concerns. We value our reputation for aggressive advocacy balanced with the ability to work cooperatively with opposing counsel, and we challenge you to find higher quality legal services at any price. 

We differ from many of our competitors insofar as we welcome the “hands-on” client who wants to be involved in litigation decision-making. Clients know that there is more to being a great lawyer than technical and strategic excellence. We understand that clients want to work with lawyers who will partner with the client and go the extra mile rather than meeting minimal expectations. We are committed to treating our clients, colleagues, and the entire legal community with respect, integrity, and civility. We do this because we are passionate about making our community a better place to live, to work, and to raise our families.
