Why Choose Us?

What sets this firm apart is our attorneys' “peacemaking” philosophy that underlies each of our services—from legal counsel, to alternative dispute resolution, to settlement negotiations and to trial representation. A peacemaker seeks to de-escalate conflict, open dialogue, explore win-win solutions, bases advocacy on solid evidentiary proof and law, show respect to all parties, avoid vilifying the other side, and utilize cost-effective alternative dispute solutions.

Your Peace Is Our Focus

Whether you're navigating a divorce or a probate dispute, our clients' peace within and peace between self and others is an important consideration in every legal matter we handle.

We Recognize that the Way Conflict is Handled can make it a Constructive Experience.

We believe that values are both tested and developed in times of conflict. Perseverance and peacemaking skills often grow as a result.

More Tools Means Better Outcomes

It has been said that if your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. We help you evaluate and implement alternatives to a trial. If trial is your best choice we will be your strong advocates.
