The Litigator Mindset
Our firm partners bring over six collective decades of courtroom success to problem-solving your current situation and setting you up for future prosperity. Our experience as trial and appellate lawyers makes us formidable advocates in any court proceeding or tough negotiation. Peter Storm and Philip Piscopo bring that same litigator perspective to contracts and transactional matters. We aim to help clients anticipate obstacles and nail down the details that can avoid legal entanglements later.
We tackle our clients’ legal matters with energy and creativity, thinking outside the box and considering all angles. We do not shy away from a fight, but we recognize that a lengthy court battle is not the right approach for every case. In and out of court, we have used our skills to help our clients save time, money and resources.
