How we work

A small office, on purpose

We share files, ask each other questions, and cover for each other's court days. When a matter crosses lines, like a divorce that involves a farm, two of us work on it together, and you're told who does what.

What you can expect

  • A call back the same day or the next

  • A written estimate before we start

  • A bill every month that says what was done
