Pro-Tip: “We have of course, very knowledgeable attorneys, but we also have a higher percentage of support staff, paralegals, administrators in house, HR people so that when our clients have a basic question about employment practices and they don’t want to spend the high attorney rate, they can contact one of our administrators or one of our paralegals and ask a question, cost them a lot less money. And everybody here has been working on these cases for years and years. So the knowledge might not be at the fingertips of the employer, but we answer that same question every week for one of our clients.
After 35 years of doing this and after thousands of different companies, a lawyer tends to know more about how to run a business than most people would expect. We go to college for seven years, but we learned our whole career from other people’s mistakes and other people’s successes. When they come in, they tell us the story and we ask them questions about what kind of business this is going to be – we want to know from a lawyer’s perspective. Is this a high risk business? Is this a trending business? Is this a highly regulated business, those kind of things. So we can advise. And then we ask about other things and what they’re doing and just to get a gauge on how sophisticated they are or how unsophisticated they are so we can help.
We’ve had clients for decades. And when our clients do well, our attorneys feel like they’re doing well outside of whether they’re getting paid a whole bunch of money or not or fees or anything. We have long term clients. And our attorneys really feel good when things turn out for them because, on the litigation side, they go through stress and we go through stress. And when we resolve a dispute and our clients are happy, we’re happy. And we’re proud to help their transactions to flow smoothly.
Our clients have owned their company for years and years and years, and they want to sell it. They believe they have a good deal on the table and we want to do everything we can to make sure that goes smoothly. And our client gets all of their benefits of the bargain, everything they wanted. We want to do our best to make sure they get that. And if it happens and they’re happy, then we are proud. We’re very proud and we’re happy for them. So this combined knowing someone for 30+ years, their highs and lows, their difficult times, their good times, you can imagine, you really feel a bond for your clients.” – Dan Watkins, Founding Partner
