Our Values
First and foremost, the practice of law is an honorable profession, and it is a daily privilege to practice.
We treasure relationships and trying to always do the right thing; consequently, we are selective about who we work with and what we work on.
We embrace craftsmanship and take pride in all the work we do.
We are unapologetically authentic, and our advice is based on a command of the law, well earned experience, empathy for all stakeholders, and a search for common ground.
We prioritize full lives with family and friends, service to our community (including a robust pro bono practice), appreciation of the arts, and loud laughs.
We choose to be grateful, fair, and easy to work with.
