Why should a customer hire you over another service provider?

Traditional law firms usually have several staff (lawyers, paralegals, law clerks and secretaries) working on each matter.

With each matter conducted by just one senior lawyer, we're able to help our clients control their costs. It also means that matters stay on track and clients know who they are dealing with on their matter.
