Practice Areas
COUNSEL, CONCILATE, LITIGATE
We focus on what is best for our client. We begin with counseling, offering options to solve a problem, and then move on to negotiation or litigation. We know all problems are not alike; all clients are different, and the effective lawyer addresses each situation cognizant of its unique nuances.
ADVISE, NEGOTIATE, RESOLVE
Often in civil rights cases the crux of the problem is in poorly planned or implemented programs designed to meet legal obligations within the confines of existing financial and political constraints. We work proactively with our clients to craft regulations that will further the intent of the law. We are problem resolvers, using our counseling skills to anticipate trouble spots and devise a solution that enables the client to avoid litigation. It’s a balanced approach focused on providing the most value for our clients.
LEAN, EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT LITIGATION
Complex doesn’t have to mean expensive.
Cutting edge doesn’t have to mean big firm.
Class action means many plaintiffs, but not necessarily an equal number of lawyers. When we approach litigation we focus on being lean and mean, using a handful of lawyers, to craft a position that is simple, direct and understandable – something a jury can comprehend.
WE KNOW WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN'T
Our lead attorney does not manage a case. Rather, we are in the trenches doing the work, immersing ourselves in the case. When early assessment decisions are made, we know the nuances of the case and can make the subtle distinctions necessary to carry the day. One lawyer is always the focus of the action, the best prepared, the fulcrum of the case.
