About Us

Firm’s Philosophy

A Commitment to Excellence

We are committed to professional excellence. We will always thoroughly research the issues, topics, and laws surrounding a case.  To protect the rights and reputation of our clients, we will call upon our skills, expertise, and vast network of legal partners.

 

A Passion for Justice

Our years of experience have taught us that an informed individual is a better client.  That is why we take the time necessary to explain the legal process to them, and in particular, the specific circumstances and likely outcome of their cases.  We recognize that we work for our clients, so we provide them with the information that they need to make informed decisions on how to proceed.

A Belief in Fair Pricing

Our pricing structure is unlike most other firms of our size and experience.  We strive to help every client that walks through our door, provided our skills and expertise allow us to. If a client is unable to pay our invoice on time, we will work with them by setting up a schedule of payments with which they are comfortable. We know that the need for attorney is often unexpected.

Guiding Principles:

Earn Client's Trust

At every stage of the legal process, from the initial meeting through follow-ups, our client’s goals and stated outcomes are central to our work. We invest the time and resources to try to achieve those stated goals. We customize our work to best serve their needs by offering solutions–sometimes non-legal solutions–that advance their interests.

Superior Legal Work

We maintain high standards for ourselves.  Such standards are reflected in the end-product that we produce on behalf of our clients.  Although our primary objective is to resolve our clients’ legal needs as quickly, successfully and cost-effectively as possible, however, our professionalism and work ethic still govern our legal work.

Exceptional Results

We strive from the beginning of our engagement to get to know our clients, their needs and goals, and to partner with them to provide them with the most customized and individual attention that only a firm our size, experience, and fundamentals can afford to bring.  Such dynamics, we find, often bring the best results for our clients.

most popular questions

Q: Is the first consultation completely free?

A:  We understand that choosing an attorney is a serious decision, that is why our first consultation is FREE. We take the time to listen to you and understand your legal problems.

Q: How will I be kept informed of my case throughout the whole process?

 

A: We value the importance of attorney-client communication and we strive to keep our clients fully informed of the status of their cases and update them frequently.

 

Q: What about the legal service cost?

 

A: First and foremost, each of our clients is fully entitled to know the legal costs of our services. So at your very first visit, we’ll give you an approximation of what your fee will be.  We encourage a frank and open discussion about our fees with each client at the time of the first interview.

As it is common in the legal profession, the lawyer on the case gets paid under various fee arrangements. Such as:
Hourly fee:

On an hourly fee basis, fees are based on an hourly rate for services which were provided by our team and individual lawyers and paralegals.  A detailed, itemized bill will be given to you showing all work done on your case.

Flat fee:

With the flat fee basis, your legal bill is a fixed sum for agreed upon services.  In such an arrangement, no in-detail accounting will be made.

Contingency fee:

On a contingency fee basis, your legal fees will be based on the amount of money we recover for you. This approach basically means – no recovery, no fee.  You may have the option of choosing this plan in lieu of hourly charges, depending on the case.  Not all cases qualify for the contingency basis; we will tell you if yours does.

Other potential fees:

A pre-payment type of legal fee is usually required in order to begin to process your matter and you will be kept advised as to how that pre-payment is being used. We’ll always keep you up with detailed bills and payments made on your case’s behalf.

Certain cases may have a minimum fee.  This means that no hourly accounting will be made unless excess time is expended.
