Our Philosophy

Peace through strength

Most cases settle. Many go to trial. If you are in litigation, there is a real possibility your case will be decided by a judge or jury, even if you make every effort to settle.

What might happen at trial is the backdrop for every case assessment and every settlement negotiation, including at mediation. No one knows the strengths and the risks better than the lawyers who are in court presenting cases to judges and juries.

Your opponent is not just assessing the facts of the case. They are assessing you and your lawyer. The family law community is small. Lawyer reputations, even from small towns, are known globally. The trial lawyer at the table changes the conversation. We are trained for negotiation as well as trial. There is no handoff and no reset if settlement does not happen. We are ready to try the case while others try to reopen discovery and delay resolution.

This is why we are called in to serve as trial counsel after one or more firms have already handled the case.

Cross-examination is the foundation of our practice. It is what produces the truth that decides cases, and it is the skill that takes years of trial work to develop.

Beyond the legal work, we treat the client experience as part of the practice. Clients are kept informed, included, and respected throughout their case. The work happens with them, not just for them.
