Our firm’s philosophy is to try to treat our clients the same way we would like to be treated ourselves, to operate in a professional manner, and to give our best effort at all times.  We feel that, even with modern technology, the client has the right to talk to a person about his/her business and we do not add to your bill if you want to tell us about your kids or grandchildren.
