Our mission is to help people by giving them honest, thoughtful, personal, ethical, moral, and professional legal assistance. Our moral compass is ancient and never changes.

With so many lawyers competing for clients, how can a person know which lawyer or law firm is best for what is needed or for one’s business? Reputation is one way you can learn about a lawyer.

While we are often required to engage in proceedings in court, we generally discourage litigation and promote the vigorous pursuit of peaceful, commercially reasonable solutions, or interpersonal agreements that keep our clients out of court which avoids anxiety and stress, and eliminates or reduces significantly legal costs.

We believe that if at all possible,  and insofar as it depends on you, be at peace with everyone.
