The firm represents individuals and business entities and also provides legal counsel to various prominent insurance companies. Our attorneys are provided challenging and dynamic responsibilities commensurate with their experience, self-initiative, and performance.

    Our firm promotes a collegial, hardworking, and rewarding work environment, while also providing schedule flexibility in order to meet your personal and career demands.
