Assessing the Situation

We examine your legal issue with you, analyzing the situation from all possible sides, including:

• The impact on your business
• The potential financial effect
• The potential for case outcome to generate additional litigation
• The potential effect on customers, employees, shareholders, investors, and the community

Our goal is to get the best possible business result.

Fee Arrangements

Whether straight hourly work, contigent fees, or a sliding scale for established milestones, we are committed to getting the best results in the most efficient manner possible. Our goal is to make sure that our fees, and our fee structure, is always appropriate in view of the complexity of the issues, the magnitude of the care, and most importantly, the objectives of our client.

Technology

We use technology for two major reasons.

One, technology enables us to work more efficiently, which saves time and money.

Two, technology provides us with a competitive edge that can have real benefits in the courtroom.

We are committed to employing the latest technology wherever it makes sense for our clients' business.

Staffing

We're a tight-knit group with complimentary talents representing a broad range of skills and experience. We deploy our resources as needed to get the best result for your business.

We also believe strongly that all cases should be staffed appropriately. We never assign more people to a case than is necessary. And we don't use experienced lawyers for tasks that can and should be handled by less-expensive staff.

Feedback

We frequently gather objective and constructive feedback from clients to determine how our relationship is progressing and to better understand how we can be more effective for clients.

“One Team” Client Care

We find our most effective and rewarding client relationships occur when the client is part of our team.

We believe that handling litigation matters with ongoing, open communication results in well-informed, better prepared lawyers and, most importantly, no surprises for our clients.

We'll find out from you the best way to communicate progress and the most effective way to package information so you can share it with others in your organization. Then, we'll follow through on our commitments so that you never have to wonder where things stand.

At the same time, you'll quickly see that we place a premium on efficiency. We prefer condensed reporting that is clear, concise, and easy to understand.
