Overview

An award-winning boutique litigation group – with thoughtful and deliberate strategists

Value-driven litigation.  Our clients want the best possible outcome at a cost commensurate with the result. We achieve this by forming small teams of experienced lawyers, each chosen for their ability to analyze cases and develop and present evidence in court.

We know what really matters at trial.  We know success requires us to be honest with ourselves and our clients about the strengths and weaknesses of any given case. We win by communicating clear, compelling evidence that the judge and jury need to decide in our clients' favor. We win not just because of our eloquent arguments but also because we maintain absolute credibility with the court.
