“It sounds simple, but we have always reminded one another that the firm must be both caring AND competent. If we are caring people,  but we do not push ourselves to gain the expertise our clients need, we are not of much use. On the other hand, if we have knowledge but are not motivated to care for others, we fall short. When we are both caring and competent, we bring real value to our little corner of the world, and that matters very much to the lawyers and staff of this firm.”
