San Francisco Law Firm
Attorneys
Mission Statement
Our mission is unique, and so is our law firm. We concentrate on managing and resolving complex legal problems and disputes. We handle substantial and challenging transactions. We work proactively and creatively to solve problems in order to achieve our clients’ objectives. We litigate vigorously to protect and vindicate our clients’ interests.
We offer the same level of sophisticated practice found in the largest law firms in the country. At the same time, we are a small firm dedicated to providing personal attention and service to our clients.
Our mission demands that our attorneys possess an unusual combination of legal abilities – the broad view of a generalist and the finely tuned abilities of a specialist. This perspective enables us to see, evaluate and efficiently manage the entire problem, while addressing details necessary to achieve the desired result. To these special talents we add the equally necessary ingredients of common sense, interpersonal skills and practical experience. The result is timely services that fully meet our clients’ needs and expectations.
Our style of practice reflects the uniqueness of our mission. Because other firms also offer high-caliber legal services, we think it is important to identify the characteristics that set us apart.
Too often, lawyers avoid taking a stand by offering general advice without solving the problem. It is not enough to simply present legal alternatives. We think it is our job to recommend a specific course of action. This is the proper role of a legal counselor. It is, of course, the client’s prerogative to accept or reject our advice, but our client will always know exactly what we would do if we had to make the final decision, and why.
Clients need and deserve positive advice on how to achieve their purposes. Difficult problems often require innovative solutions. It is not satisfactory to explain why things cannot happen. We are committed to exploring and finding creative alternatives that will work for our clients.
In representing our clients’ interests, one of our important goals is to add value. This requires efficiency and common sense. Legal fees should bear a reasonable relationship to the scope, importance and complexity of the work. Based upon the above principles of practice, we work with our clients to meet this standard.
