High standards, good, transparent communication between team members, excellent understanding of the issues, plus a can-do attitude. Part of the firm’s culture is an awareness of cost, and the farming out of work to the most reasonably-priced resource.
Huge effort, attention to detail and great concern for their clients.
Every lawyer I have worked with has been friendly, approachable and willing to listen.
