2011 Year in Review

As I reflect upon our firm's many outstanding accomplishments in 2011, I am very proud of the efforts of our attorneys and staff in countless community service projects and the support of not for profit agencies. We made the holidays a happy time for children and teenagers living at the Children's Home through the efforts of paralegal Jill Madigan. Our receptionists coordinated an effort to provide holiday gifts to residents from Susquehanna Nursing Facility, Bridgewater Nursing Home and Vestal Nursing Center. The response from our attorneys and staff was overwhelming and each resident received many gifts!! We also contributed to twelve not for profit agencies through our monthly Dress Down Days which are coordinated by paralegal Mary Cifaratta. Among those agencies were the Magic Paintbrush Project, the American Cancer Society, the United Way, Lourdes Hospice, and Operation Mend.

In addition, our attorneys sit on a variety of community boards such as the Binghamton Boys and Girls Club, Mothers and Babies Perinatal Network, the United Way, Roberson Museum and the Baden Powell Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

We recognize the importance of giving back to the Southern Tier community and it remains a key component of who we are as a law firm and also as a contributing member of this community.

Building Relationships on Results

BUILDING is not a trait usually associated with lawyers. But in fact, we build things for our clients every day. We build clear and convincing cases before judges and juries. We build complex business transactions involving millions of dollars. We build clear action plans for families who may be facing legal issues for the very first time. We build trust and loyalty through our personal and professional touch.

RELATIONSHIPS mean more to us than the occasional client luncheon. We think it is vital that we understand your business and the markets in which you compete to really represent you. We spend time getting to know how you operate and the philosophies you think are important. If it is a personal matter, we take the time to really understand you and your goals. We are in this together.

RESULTS are important as well and we are very proud of our efforts on behalf of our satisfied clients. Our trial teams have been responsible for many of the largest jury verdicts in our region. Our attorneys understand the importance of establishing clear objectives and working tirelessly with you to achieve superb results. Perhaps that is why our clients return to us again and again. We have built great relationships with our results. We can do the same for you.
