Our Approach
We begin our case handling with a realistic evaluation of the file. Our goal is to work with the client to identify issues, opportunities, and strategies that can help streamline the litigation process.
We will be candid and sincere with our evaluation and suggestions, and devote the time necessary to understand the goals of our clients. We attempt, early on, to identify cases that are resolvable without protracted litigation, and search for strategies that bring such cases to a fair and prompt resolution.
When a decision has been made to litigate a case to conclusion, we litigate the case aggressively. Our attorneys are well seasoned cross-examiners and we are not intimidated by experts, witnesses or opponents. At the same time, we demonstrate respect for the judiciary, and camaraderie with opposing counsel.
Our Values
We pride ourselves in providing excellent legal representation for our clients at very competitive rates.
We enjoy getting to know our clients and their businesses. Our goal is to help our clients as a partner, not merely provide service as a vendor. Our firm is small enough to provide personal service and attention, and large enough to match the resources and skills of any adversary.
Our clients benefit from our firm’s commitment to using the latest law office technologies and systems and our statewide presence. Our clients also benefit from our commitment to ethical billing practices and fair charges for work performed.
Our rates are designed to allow us to practice professionally and to attract and retain top-notch attorneys and staff. At the same time, we strive to keep our rates low through office automation, efficiency, and modesty. Our hourly rates are among the lowest for firms of our caliber and experience.
The CLO Education Program
The Chartwell Law Offices is committed to furthering the good of the legal profession and related industries by sponsoring regular seminar programs and workshops for clients, professionals and students. The Firm intends to supplement its live programs with quarterly periodicals addressing relevant issues, decisions and concerns relevant to those whom we represent.
