Guiding You Through Your Legal Options

Our commitment to you is to provide the highest quality of service

In memory of our friend and colleague, Peter Paulousky, who we lost on December 31, 2020. Peter was fiercely passionate about justice, guitar, cooking, fencing and, most of all, his family. We will never see his like again and he will be missed by all of us who had the good fortune to know him.
