Litigation can be the most expensive component of a city’s legal fees.  We, therefore, recognize that we perform far more effectively by giving the proper guidance and correct legal advice that avoids lawsuits, instead of winning those suits.  Of course, our litigation experience and history show that we are formidable adversaries, but success and sometimes vindication come at a price.  A better lawyer will give correct advice so that his/her client isn’t sued at all.

 

Complex legal issues should only be addressed by persons with the experience and knowledge needed to provide capable representation.  Our history shows that the firm has earned its reputation as experienced, knowledgeable, and capable.
