to provide a full spectrum of legal services for our clients. We hope that our
website provides you with the information necessary to familiarize you with our
attorneys, our philosophy and our services. Our law firm enjoys a solid
reputation for excellence and embodies the tradition the founders of our firm
believed so strongly in.

The Firm:
Our law firm has grown from a small legal office established in 1933 to be one
of the largest law firms in northern New York. Our 22 attorneys, 8
paralegals and over 20 other support staff keep our clients well informed of all
developments in the matters we are handling for them. Each lawyer and legal
assistant has concentrated in particular areas of law through years of formal
training and practical experience. In many cases, clients are actually
being represented by a team of legal professionals. If your problem
concerns a particular area of law, a member of our firm with proficiency in that
area can often recognize the solution more quickly and inexpensively than a
lawyer without extensive experience in that particular area. We value open and
frequent communication with our clients. Initially, we make every effort
to establish a clear understanding as to the extent of the work we are
authorized to do on any legal matter. We recommend a course of action and
estimate the time, responsibility and expense involved. If unexpected
developments arise which require greater time and expense than originally
contemplated, we will discuss these developments and seek approval prior to
providing unanticipated services. We are always available to answer questions
that arise. Our firm provides legal services to our clients in a friendly,
confidential, and efficient manner at competitive rates. We vigorously protect
our clients' rights and provide suggestions for creative solutions to our
clients' legal issues. We take great pride in maintaining our relationship with
our existing clients and are interested in developing relationships with new
clients in need of legal services. Our goal is to provide our clients with
prompt service addressing their short-term and long-term concerns. Our clients
expect us to provide legal advice in a timely, efficient and cost-effective
manner.

Contact Us Appointments may be made to meet with
any of our attorneys to discuss legal needs at any mutually convenient time.
