We handle complex cases across a wide spectrum of practice areas, focusing primarily on cases with a significant likelihood of going to trial. We have earned the respect of our clients and colleagues on account of our individualized attention to cases, our unwavering resolve to obtain the best result we can by taking any case the necessary distance, our expertise in complicated areas of the law, and our professionalism.


Key Practice Areas

We assess, prepare, and present each case individually based on its unique facts and
circumstances; there is no template for the personalized representation we provide.

04

Commercial & Contract Litigation

Our lawyers have litigated and tried contract and other business disputes for individuals and businesses for many years. We know you are not in business to pay legal bills, and we develop case strategies that minimize risk, cost and delay.

05

Employment Litigation

Our employment law attorneys represent individuals, including executives and in-house counsel, who’ve suffered workplace injustice. From sexual harassment, to whistleblower retaliation, to breach of employment contract, to defense in non-compete cases, our attorneys advocate for and counsel employees.

06

Trust & Estates Litigation

Family matters can be complicated. If your family is in a dispute involving a trust, estate, or other probate matter, we represent family members, trustees, and personal representatives in litigation, and counsel fiduciaries about their duties, roles and responsibilities.

Connection

We connect the evidence to the legal elements, the wrongdoing to the responsible party, and the conduct to the harm. We also understand the people within the case and see it through the jurors’ eyes, building trust and making complex information accessible and relatable.

Storytelling

We look beyond the legal claim to find the person and human consequences at the heart of the case. Stories are about character and conflict. We present the evidence in a clear, cohesive narrative, using testimony and clear exhibits to make the story visible, real, and memorable so the jury knows the stakes, how it can fix the problem, and why it’s important.

Persuasion

We earn trust through preparation, consistency, and authenticity. We frame the facts and law around the jury’s decision and teach jurors about our client’s experience and how the defendant’s choices led to the problem. We empower the jury to act based on the evidence so they are proud to stand behind their verdict.


Who We Are

We are a multi-faceted and multi-generational firm with significant trial experience and the
capability to form a trial team of gifted attorneys and experts around any given case anywhere
in the nation.
