While some firms focus on growth and marketing efforts (particularly now with “free” seminars) aimed at prospective clients, we focus on optimally serving actual clients. While we are very forward-thinking when it comes to the use of technology and constant improvement, we are very traditional, in the sense that we believe attorneys should be exemplary service providers, first and foremost, not salespeople or empire builders.
How does our attention on service manifest itself? Great question! We are highly concentrated on specific areas, we are highly transparent when it comes to fees and use flat fees on many of our engagements, and while we are constantly learning and open to new ideas, we lean heavily on our decades of experience serving thousands of clients.
We are not your typical estate planning law firm.
Our Columbus-based practice has served the estate, trust, and tax planning needs of over 4,000 clients from all across Ohio.
We solve legal problems (both simple and complex) with compassion, responsiveness, and kindness.
We pride ourselves on making sure all of this experience takes a backseat to the fact that every single client has their own set of concerns, and their own unique story to tell. We listen to that story, ask questions about your goals, and then deliver a customized solution in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
