  • Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

From the very beginnings of the firm, the founders set in place a unique partnership, culture and personality for the firm.

The characteristics of this philosophy include:

1. A commitment to prompt, efficient work at reasonable fees.

2. A genuine interest in our clients’ financial and legal requirements as well as their family and other interests.

3. A sincere desire to treat every client as our most important, no matter who they are.

Throughout the years we have maintained a commitment to these values and we are proud to say they are as distinctive a trademark today as they were in the 1930s.

Ultimately we take great pride in the fact that our clients become our friends.
