We are proud that a substantial portion of the firm's practice is the result of referrals from other lawyers. We attribute the large number of referrals to the firm's reputation for handling matters competently, timely and professionally with an understanding of its responsibilities to clients and referring attorneys.
Another of the keys to our firm’s success is our commitment to technology. Early on we recognized the value of integrating computer technology into the competitive world of litigation. Each attorney and all staff members are computer literate. Computer supported litigation, with substantial reliance upon Summation, software [http://www.summation.com/] allows our firm to handle cases involving large numbers of documents and depositions with relative ease. Seldom is one of our lawyers seen leaving the office without a notebook computer in tow.
Years ago we enhanced the personal injury and medical malpractice aspect of our practice by hiring a paralegal who has an RN degree. She has been with the firm since 1987 providing invaluable assistance in reviewing medical records and preparing for medical depositions.
