The attorneys in this firm are friendly and we try to keep tension at a minimum, which is not always easy given the nature of the cases. We strive to create a work-life balance for ourselves and anyone we work with. Therefore, we almost never work during non-working hours and we do not expect a paralegal to either (unless there is an emergent and very rare need, which sometimes does happen).
The firm has strong opinions that staff should be an integral part of a team and respected as such.
The firm has a strong reputation for being friendly and cooperative when possible, and when not possible, being sharp and effective in litigation. Therefore, we try to maintain a good attitude and excellent work product at all times.
