Justice Is Not a Privilege — It Is a Right
We founded this firm on a simple belief: every person deserves skilled, honest, and fearless legal representation — regardless of the complexity of their matter or the power of the opposing party.
Over thirty years, that belief has guided every case we have taken, every argument we have made, and every client relationship we have built. We do not measure success only in verdicts and settlements. We measure it in the confidence our clients feel knowing they have a dedicated legal team standing firmly in their corner.
Our attorneys bring specialized expertise across six core practice areas, and collaborate across disciplines to deliver comprehensive counsel. We invest in our people, our processes, and our community — because the strongest legal institution is one that serves beyond the courtroom.
Three Decades of Growth
The Firm Is Founded
Jonathan Mercer and two founding partners establish the practice with a focus on corporate and civil litigation, serving clients across the tri-state region from a single downtown office.
Expansion into Real Estate & Family Law
Growing client demand leads to the addition of dedicated real estate and family law divisions. The firm moves to a larger office and grows to 12 attorneys.
Navigating the Financial Crisis
The firm expands its bankruptcy and creditor rights practice in response to the economic downturn, successfully representing hundreds of businesses and individuals through restructuring and asset recovery.
Landmark Verdict — $12M Personal Injury Settlement
The firm secures one of the region's largest personal injury settlements, cementing its reputation as a top-tier litigation practice and attracting complex, high-stakes cases.
Recognized Among the Region's Top Law Firms
Named to the regional Top 50 Law Firms list for the third consecutive year. The firm expands its estate planning and probate practice to meet rising demand.
40+ Attorneys. 6 Practice Areas. One Commitment.
With over 40 legal professionals across six specialized practice areas, the firm continues to grow — guided by the same founding principles of integrity, expertise, and client-first advocacy.
Our Core Values
Integrity Above All
We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in every interaction — with clients, opposing counsel, and the courts. Our reputation is built on honesty, even when the truth is difficult to hear.
Relentless Preparation
Cases are won through preparation, not improvisation. We invest the time to understand every detail, anticipate every challenge, and build the strongest possible case before we ever enter a negotiation or courtroom.
Genuine Compassion
Behind every legal matter is a human story. We treat every client with empathy and respect, recognizing that legal challenges are often the most stressful moments of a person's life.
Collaborative Strength
Our attorneys work as a unified team, drawing on collective expertise across practice areas to deliver holistic legal strategy that no single-discipline firm can match.
Relentless Attention to Detail
Small details determine the outcome of large cases. We leave nothing to chance — every document, every clause, every precedent is reviewed with meticulous care.
Community Commitment
We are proud members of the communities we serve. Our attorneys contribute pro bono hours, support local legal aid organizations, and mentor the next generation of legal professionals.
