We strive each and every day to earn the continued respect of our clients, of our fellow practitioners and jurists, and of the families whose lives we have touched and made shine a little brighter. This is why our logo is the sun, reminiscent of the Crown on the Statue of Liberty. Her Crown reaches out over the oceans and continents, to proclaim hope to those who come to our shores.
