From the beginning, the philosophy of the law firm has been to provide competent and thorough legal services; and at the same time maintain a close, personal relationship between the lawyer and the client. This has been accomplished by the lawyers in the firm concentrating in particular areas of the law, thus providing the client with a lawyer with increased experience in the area of legal service required by the client. At the same time, the firm is small enough in number to create and maintain a personal service relationship between the lawyer and the client. It is the firm's belief that the client desires a high degree of knowledge and expertise on the part of the lawyer so that the client can obtain personal advice and counseling for a variety of legal matters.

     The law firm and its traditional approach is to provide expert legal services to their clients; and at the same time to develop the highest and greatest degree of prompt, personal service. The firm always enters into an understood fee arrangement with the client prior to the client incurring any obligation; and attempts, so far as possible, to estimate the total fee obligation for the client based on the nature and complexity of the legal services undertaken.
