"We operate on the principle that, '’Less' is [indeed] 'More’,' in that we limit the number of our clients and cases so that we can deliver a higher level of service and competence not ordinarily offered by 'mill' type law practices.

"All else being otherwise equal, perhaps a lawyer's best asset or advantage may very well be: having immediately available excess or available time and capacity to deliver shorter turn-around-time legal services. Not always, but often, in Divorce, Custody and Family law (really all law), the ability to strike first and/or to respond quickly, catching the other party off guard or unprepared, may make the difference in the intermediate proceedings and, therefore, in the ultimate outcome.

"Maintaining readily available capacity is an expensive tool not generally found in the mass-production divorce mill-type law practices. Our clients know the value of this capability and appreciate the fact that this is part of what they are paying for when they hire our law firm to represent them.

"Not only is the capability to affect timing in delivery of legal services a distinct advantage in and of itself, but also, a legal mind that is fresh, rested, and not already overly-stressed, is most-often more efficient and more creative and thoughtful, more calculating, and, frankly, more capable and competent.

“This ‘Less is more’ operating philosophy is also a personal and firm life style decision by the legal services professional(s) that offers additional advantage - less stress at work leads to a happier home life, which in turn means fewer personal life distractions that tend to take away from a lawyer's ability to perform for his/her clients. This is our philosophy, and our strategy for obtaining and maintaining a competitive edge or advantage over our opposing counsel throughout the course of our representation of our clients. All lawyers went to law school, graduated, and passed the state’s bar exam - they all have some base-level of intelligence and intellectual capability. To gain an advantage over presumably near-equals in intelligence, one must be able to work harder on the task at hand and do things differently, positioning themselves to take quick advantage of any discovered temporal or other advantage over or weakness in an opponent, and then leverage that leg up throughout the duration of the proceedings or undertaking.

"We did not learn this strategy in the approach to the practice of law overnight. Rather, in the over 14 years of doing battle practicing deadline intensive trial law and other legal experience, I saw how other attorneys with obvious less natural abilities nonetheless neutralize or overcome the disparity in skills, experience or innate abilities, because of their ability to focus their efforts and to turn up the heat on me by working harder, longer on the same case. If I was already at my personal maximum capacity, I could not work any harder - there was no excess capacity to call-up and utilize. There was no inventory stock in time, no ability to counter-act the enhanced effort on the other side, except to ‘wing it’ or ‘shoot from the hip’ or take undesirable, unnecessary chances. While I was born, blessed, with strong innate abilities to do the forgoing, it still is no substitute for working harder or smarter than (out working) your individual opponent on a particular matter, and, to the extent I came in with an ability advantage, the advantage was undermined by the circumstance of my opponent having more time available to outwork me.

“After experiencing years with a mass volume of cases/clients and learning from each one them, I gradually noticed my success rate changed or fluctuated over time, depending upon my varying work-load of concurrent case/client obligations competing for my limited time (and most valuable resource). As a result, while we realize that practice circumstances (level of commitments) are always fluid, we constantly strive to regulate our practice so as to maintain a balance in cost-efficiency and service quality and effectiveness.

“Sure, this means our legal fee rates appear, on the surface, to be higher, but you would be comparing apples and oranges. When we quote an hourly rate, it includes the cost of stand-by, availability / capability time. It makes us better, more capable of producing positive results. Savvy clients know appreciate the hidden value of having an “adequately retained lawyer” when they weigh the cost of hiring/retaining a fully-capable (ostensibly higher priced) law firm against the expected cost of an unnecessarily-bad or negative outcome or result, that might possibly occur for no other reason than the fact that the “cheaper” lawyer was already overworked, because of making up his/her discount based on volume, and not capable of responding in kind to the adequately retained firm with sufficient available capacity to work harder on the case at hand because it strategically regulates its practice and client base. No lawyer can ethically promise a victory or a particular outcome (nor, as a practical matter should they, as litigation by nature is inherently unpredictable). We do not promise or guarantee any particular result. Rather, we  offer a strategy, approach and philosophy-in-action aimed at enhancing your chances for a positive result or, where appropriate, designed to enhance your chances for minimizing the effects of an already expected negative result, making the best of a already bad situation.

“If you think you agree with our philosophy and strategy, and you think you can benefit as a client from this approach to the practice of law by your attorney, then, please, do not hesitate to give us call.
