Our Philosophy:
We believe that a person should be able to personally speak with an attorney AT LENGTH during the INITIAL phone call (this is unheard of in the legal world--an attorney speaking with a person during the first call!). We do this because we work for the client—not the other way around. Most attorneys are competent, but very few attorneys really care about you as a person and will take the time to listen to you. Well, we are that rare attorney who will listen to you that first call because we really do care. We're not like the doctor's office when you go and sit for an hour in the waiting room, only to speak with a nurse and then only a physician assistant, but rarely the doctor. Well, when you call us, you speak with the attorney! The first call! And as long as is necessary to analyze your case. If more time is needed, then the attorney and you set up a time to continue the call. Furthermore,you deal with the attorney for the rest of the case, not a secretary or paralegal. We used to defend doctors and hospitals, and after seeing what went on behind the scenes, we decided we wanted to represent the small person—you!
The World Desperately Needs Truly Good Lawyers
Good lawyers must have the skills required for professional competence. But, this is not enough. They must know how to carry the burdens of other people on their shoulders. They must know of pain, and how to help heal it. Lawyers can be healers. Like physicians, ministers, and other healers, lawyers are persons to whom people open up their innermost secrets when they have suffered or are threatened with serious injury. People go to them to be healed, to be made whole, and to be protected from harm. These are large and important tasks, and they require all that lawyers have to offer. They require both good minds and good hearts—not only mental acuity and professional skill, but also compassion, righteousness, mercy, and strength to suffer and carry pain. That is what it takes to be a truly good lawyer. And the world desperately needs truly good lawyers.
