The Sherman Law Firm Small Firm Advantage
In addition to the legal knowledge, skill, and practical know-how developed over 12 years of environmental law experience in the public and private sector in New Jersey and New York, you also get the Sherman Law Firm Small Firm Advantage:
- The Buck Stops Here. This means you deal with the head of the firm on all your legal matters instead of getting handed-off to some first or second year associate in training or overstaffed by a partner and multiple associates.
- We Accomodate You. Time is money and we are flexible to accomodate your schedule. If the client prefers, we will meet in the client's office, in the evening, or on the weekend.
- We Save You Money. We separate the roles of environmental consultant and Clean Up Contractor. This way you get unvarnished advise from an independent environmental consultant who isn't making money on each ton of soil that gets hauled away. We also save our clients money because The Sherman Law Firm does not charge for routine overhead items. A lot of firms not only charge clients for routine costs like regular postage, sending and receiving faxes, and legal research database connection charges, but even turn these costs into profit centers for the firm. We don't.
- Lower Legal Fees. Because we're a small firm with low overhead, we're able to pass our lower operating costs on to our clients in the form of lower legal fees.
- Focus, Fast Response, and Follow-Through, Follow-Through, Follow-Through. Lawyers at large law firms have so many cases that your matter may not be getting the attention it deserves. The Sherman Law Firm Small Firm Experience is different: At the Sherman Law Firm, your matter gets taken up immediately and is worked on in a careful, deliberative manner by the head of the firm. After a plan of action is decided upon, we follow-through until the matter is completed. We don't wait for our client's to call us; we're on it already.
Please feel free to call or email me and I'll be glad to discuss your matter in complete confidence. There is no charge for the initial consultation and file review.
