service with personal attention. We believe as our client you:
Have the right to our respect
Have the right to talk to your attorney when you

All attorneys
are governed by a higher standard called the Code of Ethics.
We believe as attorneys we must live by these ethics in all
that we do and say.
Among these
ethics is one specific right you should be aware of that your
lawyer is obligated to provide:
CLIENT
CONFIDENTIALITY: This is called attorney-client privilege.
This means that a lawyer, or any member of his or her staff,
cannot reveal most things you say or show to your lawyer. This
is true if you have hired that lawyer or just talked with a
lawyer and communicated certain information. There are
exceptions, such as, someone who reveals something illegal,
for example, a scheme to defraud or give perjured testimony.
