About Us

• About Us Big firm approach. Small firm sensibility. Attention to detail. Close client relationships. These are the hallmarks of our practice. They have served us well for more than 33 years, as countless clients can attest. We counsel clients with an eye toward providing creative, practical, and cost-effective solutions for all disputes. You have a legal problem or issue. It causes a degree of uncertainty and trepidation. It may even feel overwhelming, affecting your business or home life. At other firms, you may meet with a senior partner for the first meeting. Subsequently, you may have a revolving door of attorneys assigned to your case as it develops. At our firm, you will meet with Mr. Gilbert who will handle your case start to finish. Your case will not be delegated to one or more inexperienced associates who are learning as they go. Instead, you will benefit from over 33 years of experience representing a wealth of skills and knowledge which have been honed over time. We offer a proven track record. The strength of our firm is reflected in what we have achieved for our clients, and what we can accomplish for you. Our success now becomes your best chance at success. We take great pride in going beyond what is expected from most law firms. You will benefit from our invaluable experience, contacts, and relationships we have developed. Our multilateral strategies will enhance the prospect of a successful outcome. Rely on our expertise and proven capability. Rely on us for trusted legal counsel and guidance. Rely on us for thinking “outside the box,” and using creative and unique approaches. This is what we bring to the table. This is what has made us successful. Our vision is to continue to provide the highest quality legal representation available. Our steadfast commitment is to apply that vision in an effective, expeditious, and cost-conscious manner which addresses and favorably resolves your particular needs, issues and problems.
