| APPOINTMENTS
AT YOUR PLACE OR OURS |
We
often visit our clients at their offices instead of always
having them come to us, without charging for travel time.
This helps us provide a higher quality of service, in that
we often observe things with legal repercussions which you,
the client, either don't see or don't know to look for. |

NICKEL AND DIMING YOU |
Many
law firms make their fax machines and copier into separate
profit centers by charging you the client for faxes and copies.
Charges can be as high as $1 to $2 per page for faxes, and
around $0.25 per copy. We don't do this. Copies and faxes,
and except in very unusual cases even long distance phone
calls, are all on us. |
| NO
IVORY TOWER MENTALITY |
Theory
is great, and in the law practice technicalities can be everything.
But that doesn't mean we as lawyers have to put ourselves
up in an ivory tower, isolated from reality to provide top
quality service. We stay focused on not just the theory of
the law but also the practicality of the solutions we offer,
transactions we negotiate, and estates we plan. |
| AGGRESSIVENESS |
We
are known as a firm that acts for our clients in an aggressive
fashion. This often requires patience at times, in addition
to quick action. While we certainly believe in the idea of
crafting "win-win" deals, we always want to make
sure our client is the first among equals. |
| LIMITED
PRACTICE |
We
don't want to be all things to all people. Our principal attorney
has chosen areas of law he enjoys, and has limited the firm's
practice to these areas only. Should you need a lawyer in
another field, we will most likely be able to refer you to
other counsel, or associate with them on your matters. J.

Specialization. |
| TECHNOLOGY |
It
is changing the very foundation of the practice of law. It
is now possible for a small practice to have all the resources
that have historically only been available to large law firms,
without the traditionally high associated overhead. Computer
databases of statutes, case law and regulations make it possible
to provide a higher quality of service in less time and at
reduced costs. This lets us stay smaller, quicker, and more
flexible, for your benefit. |
| ENJOYMENT |
We
enjoy what we do, and we enjoy serving our clients and seeing
them succeed. Not that this makes us unique, but it does positively
affect our attitudes. |
