Why Work With Us
My wife and I work as a team. Dawn M. Russell-Stayton is a certified paralegal and the firm's administrator. She is diligent, extraordinarily committed to our clients, and devoted to the practice. But since she is not a lawyer, her billing rates are substantially lower than any lawyer's.
As a small firm, we are not driven by billing quotas and minimum hours. Yes, we expect to be paid for our services and expertise, but we are committed to providing value -- not just bills. With our combined experience, we deliver large-firm expertise at small firm rates.
