A small firm,
by design.
Two attorneys, a senior paralegal team, and a back office that keeps the work moving. Small by choice: enough bench to staff a contested case, small enough that the lawyer you meet is the lawyer who handles your file. Full attorney bios live on the counsel page.
The attorneys.
