Legal Assistant

We are large enough to handle the most complex litigation, but small enough to provide a level of personal service often lost with larger firms. As a multi-specialty firm, our attorneys have taken to trial or arbitrated more than 250 cases. Additionally, our attorneys have assisted clients with matters that were resolved or settled where compromise was advantageous to our client.

Over the last 20 years our focus has remained the same – Our Clients. Regardless of whether a case involves millions of dollars in damages or thousands of dollars, we pride ourselves on providing superior service & working to provide the best possible outcome for our clients. We are used to tough cases and difficult adversaries.
