RAISING THE BAR FOR
FAMILIES
OUR PHILOSOPHY
WHY US
Small by design and nimble by nature, we believe there’s a better way to provide legal services for families. This is where life gets better.
When you work with us, you receive the best of both worlds: Expertise, resources and skill of big firm lawyers combined with small firm efficiency, pliability and personalized attention. Our trademark approach is defined by collaboration and expertise to advocate for families with creativity and compassion.
To us, it is you that matters.
No matter what issues are involved or how complex your divorce may be, we vow to truly hear you and give you the no-nonsense legal representation that you deserve. When we meet your economic and emotional needs while simultaneously going through the throes of a divorce or custody issue, we know we have achieved far more than awards or advanced degrees or licenses – although we’ve got those too.
RULES WE LIVE BY
OUR POWER IS IN OUR TALENT, NOT OUR HEADCOUNT.
We are small by design — because small teams get better results. (See Jeff Bezos' famous "Two Pizza Rule".) Strength in numbers isn’t our thing - results are.
WE FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE.
We treat clients as we would expect to be treated. We recognize your matter is personal – with results that can have serious and long-lasting implications. We do not take that lightly.
WE ARE HUMBLED BY YOUR STORY.
In litigation, it is the core facts and story that make a lasting impression with judges and mediators. We take your trust in us most seriously and are honored to be part of your journey.
WE CARE DEEPLY ABOUT CHILDREN AND CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT.
We believe there is nothing truer than Fredrick Douglas’s timeless quote: “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” These are words we live by in everything we do as family lawyers.
WE BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND.
We begin each engagement by critically evaluating your end goal. Successful outcomes result from focusing on the right goals and developing a targeted strategy to achieve those goals.
WE FOCUS RELENTLESSLY ON WHAT MATTERS.
The 80/20 rule applies with special vigor to the practice of law. We achieve superior results by focusing on the 20% of your case that is mission critical. We get to the heart of the matter, and we stay there.
WE ANALYZE EVERY MOVE.
We see the world through an analytical lens and carefully develop strategies that anticipate our opponent’s thinking. High conflict cases are won when approached as a game of chess, not by throwing hand grenades.
WE LOVE EFFICIENCY.
We are not afraid of IT systems. We leverage the newest advancements of technology to save you money. We are efficient, cost-effective and focused on outperforming rather than outspending our adversaries.
WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT NEW AND COMPLEX CHALLENGES.
We respect the legal system but trust there are sometimes better ways to resolve domestic issues. Thinking outside of the box is one of our creeds that has proven to be very advantageous for our clients.
WE ARE BATTLE TESTED.
We work with the best experts who are hands-on and unafraid to roll up their sleeves. We are actively engaged in trials, hearings, arbitrations, mediations, settlement and deal negotiations every day. This is not a desk job for us.
WE ARE THE MOST PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE IN THE ROOM.
We take Charlie Munger’s maxim to heart: "You can always tell someone to go to hell tomorrow." Our objective is to achieve your goals, not to show how tough we are. We are more than tough enough when need be.
WE AIM TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT LAWYERS.
We care about our reputation in the community. We are team players. We are advocates of survivors because we are survivors. We are empaths. We are true counselors of law.
