Our firm motto is "We work for you" which truly represents our attitude towards clients. If a client cannot reach his or her attorney there is a problem with the attorney, not the client. With their lawyer's advice, a client should be able to make an informed decision and not feel pressured by their attorney to pursue a course with which they are not comfortable - - ultimately, the client should be able to decide if they prefer to settle out of court or file a lawsuit.
