Our Approach
Focus On The Problem Not The Tool
Process Expertise
Agile minds know that there are many ways to solve a problem – circumstances change and are unpredictable. Knowing when to change strategies and picking the clearest path to a solution based on changing information is what we do. That is what we mean by ‘process expertise.’ Think of it like a hockey game: you can’t just watch the puck – you have to watch every player on the ice.
Subject Expertise
Sometimes there is no substitute for hitting the books, jumping into the documents up to your neck or researching complicated law. We are not afraid of complex, difficult matters. We have successfully handled document intensive files (in one case over 700,000 records) as well as legally complex matters before the courts requiring copious research. We have the systems and people to handle it.
It all starts with the client’s problem and deciding what is the best approach for it. We love finding the right approach for our clients’ problems.

What to expect from us
Clear, Direct Advice
We make this commitment to every client and prospective client. We will tell you what we think. We will give our advice clearly and directly. We will strive to understand not only your immediate problem, but how that problem fits into your life and business as a whole. Our advice will help you make good decisions.
Practical Solutions
We will give you advice that is actionable, so that you can make the best decision based on the possible outcomes and your available resources. We will not leave you confused with abstract legal principles. We will help you see the problem in practical terms.
Resolution Focused
The legal system is notorious for lengthy and inconclusive proceedings and complex processes. Clients should expect their lawyer to be vigilant against becoming bogged down in endless maneuvering and delay. Proceedings and transactions should always be goal oriented. We strive to remain focused on your problem and the best solution to it and keep your matter moving towards the finish line.
