Personalized care and representation. One size does not fit all. No company or individual is the same. Our clients receive representation that is specifically tailored to their specific needs, requirements, goals, and objectives. The relationships we build with our clients differentiates us from most firms in this industry. We do not just care about our clients’ business. We care about them as people and provide each client with personalized care. By building strong relationships with our clients and maintaining regular communication, we have a better idea of who our client is, what they want, what is important to them, and how to best represent them to protect their interests, and to meet and exceed their expectations.

Each case is different and is treated as such with a thorough case evaluation to determine the best course of action given the specifics of the case. This evaluation identifies potential opportunities for settlement, as well as foreclosure alternative options, such as deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure and short sales.

Full transparency. Hourly rates and anticipated fees and costs are discussed at the onset of representation so there are no hidden surprises when our clients receive legal invoices from our firm. 

Big city firm results at small town prices. We maximize our utilization of legal technology solutions to ensure efficiency, both in time and cost. Frills are great, but we think top-notch service at a fraction of the price of our local competitors (in larger cities) is even better. Our central office is conveniently located in the Cummings Center in Beverly, Massachusetts, which is located about 40 minutes north of Boston and 40 minutes south of Maine and New Hampshire. What does that mean for our clients? We are not paying the exorbitant overhead costs you might expect from some of the big city firms, and we are able to proudly pass on the savings to our clients.

We look forward to working with you!
