Our Principles

Strategic

smart_s

A plan, method, or series of maneuvers for obtaining a specific goal or result.  Our strategic thinking focuses on working with our client and his/her professionals to achieve a result in our client’s best interest. This does not mean that the results of our analysis can strategically change. It means that based upon our analysis we can assist our client and his/her attorney in determining how to strategically achieve a positive result for a client. For example, we can help attorneys and clients determine how to globally assess support, equitable distribution and fees. We often assist attorneys in determining what discovery is missing, its importance, and how to obtain it. When we cannot assist a client in settling his/her matter, we work with the client’s attorney to determine how to strategically present the case to the Court.

Moral

smart_m

Of, relating to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical. Everything we do in life and business is based upon morals. Our integrity is very important to us and we are not willing to sacrifice our integrity for a client or case. All parties to a matter, including the opposing side, neutral third parties, and the Court now that when we are on a case that we have acted with integrity and that we believe (and can prove) in the positions we present.

Analytical

smart_a

Skilled in or habitually using analysis (analysis is defined as an investigation based on the properties of numbers). We analyze everything relevant to your matter. This includes, but is not limited to, personal and business financial records, personal and corporate tax returns, all discovery, and necessary pleadings. We cross-reference and confirm all numbers.  We use our diverse legal and accounting backgrounds to analyze information from both points of view. Our work-product is then summarized and provided in an easy-to-understand manner that has proven successful in both settling cases and in trial.

Reliable
