Our Philosophy

We believe that the law can still be an honorable profession, and that intelligence, preparation and knowledge of the law achieve better and more cost-effective results than abusive gamesmanship. We are dedicated to practicing law at the highest standards, with respect not only for our clients, but also for our profession.

We believe your attorney should be your partner. We take the time to understand our clients' objectives and develop an approach to the representation specifically tailored to achieve them. We take the time to learn about the operations of our business clients, and we encourage them to share their business philosophies with us.

Our corporate clients also include major health care providers and their patients in litigation against health insurance companies for non-payment of major claims.

Our individual clients typically are executive-level employees. Our work for these clients ranges from drafting and negotiating employment contracts and severance agreements, to litigation over a wide variety of employment claims, including discrimination, workplace defamation, benefits issues, non-compete and trade secret issues, and claims under the qui tam and anti-retaliation provisions of the False Claims Act.
