Accessibility

We’re not the kind of law firm that only represents big name clients who can pay top-dollar legal rates. Our doors are open to anyone who needs our legal services and we’re willing to do whatever it takes to meet your needs. If your schedule necessitates that you meet during evenings or on weekends, we’re happy to adjust our own schedules to accommodate you.

Knowledge and Experience

Many larger law firms only put their full effort into the most billable clients, and set the average client up with inexperienced attorneys who can only answer the most basic questions. When you come to our law practice, you’ll meet with lawyers who are knowledgeable and experienced, allowing us to confidently predict the outcome of your case. If we don’t think your case is viable, we’ll tell you that upfront instead of wasting your time and money.

Personality

When our clients meet with us, we want them to feel comfortable. Our lawyers are friendly and down-to-earth so that our clients can be at ease as they converse with us. You’ll never have to worry about us lecturing you, judging you or spilling your secrets. We work with you and advocate with you through every stage of your legal proceedings. “You don’t seem like lawyers” is the best and the most common compliment that we receive.
