We strive to become the firm of choice for the clients who need to win, but at a reasonable cost.

We realize that there is no single formula that guarantees a reasonable fee in every case for every client.  Instead, we endorse a creative, flexible approach that allows us to propose a fee that is fair to both our client and to the firm, depending on the client, the adversary, the nature of the dispute, and the resources that will be required to ensure success.  We encourage our clients’ creative thinking regarding fee structures.

We help provide certainty to our clients.  We prepare realistic budgets that we will update on demand.  We know that clients hate surprises, and this means that we keep a close watch on expenses as they are projected and incurred.  We take a team-oriented approach with our clients in monitoring budgets and the litigation process, helping ensure that the monthly bill is never an unpleasant surprise.  We generally do not charge for telephone calls, copying, fax or other routine costs.  

We offer flexibility for a variety of cases.  Depending on the case, we can bill by an hourly rate or on a blended, capped or fixed amount payable on a monthly basis.  We also handle certain matters on contingency.

We focus our efforts where it counts--legal acumen.
