Our Approach

A partner leads each team and each case is staffed according to its needs. Smaller cases will usually be handled by one partner with the assistance of one associate. More complex litigation will be assigned the level of expertise that the case demands. We have years of experience with large and complicated litigation and the staff to handle it. Whether your case requires one attorney or a dozen attorneys, there will always be one person leading the team who will keep the client informed and be responsible for the litigation moving forward.
