History/Mission
Colvin Law Firm was created with the goal of providing specialized, individualized service to its clients. Colvin Law Firm is able to offer all of the services of a large, fully integrated law firm, while at the same time offering the personal services that make the client feel that its particular legal needs are the most important issues with which the firm is dealing.
For business and corporate clients, Colvin Law Firm offers a simple formula. With each of its business and corporate clients, the firm takes the time to learn and understand the client's business fully so that when a problem or need arises, the lawyers are well-versed in the client's operations and understand the import of the problem presented. An attorney responsible for a client remains responsible for that client throughout the firm's representation. This means that, unlike large firms where work is passed off to associates and other attorneys with whom the client may not be familiar, a Colvin Law Firm client maintains an ongoing relationship with the counsel originally responsible for that client. That is not to say that the individual specialties of the members of the firm will not be called upon from time to time to aid in dealing with a client's problems. Instead, clients deal with the responsible lawyer, who in turn, interacts with other members of the firm who happen to be working on the client's particular issue.
Colvin Law Firm believes that a complete understanding of a client's business is essential if high quality legal representation is to be provided. For this reason, Colvin Law Firm will come to understand your business and business needs, and educate ourselves as to issues facing your particular business sector or industry. The client is not charged for such education; however, as Colvin Law Firm does not believe that a client should have to pay for the "learning curve." These personalized touches that Colvin Law Firm brings to its clients foster the confidence that the firm is able to handle all legal needs, no matter how sophisticated or simple.
For individuals, Colvin Law Firm is not the large, impersonal law firm which is only interested in getting the client in and out. Instead, Colvin Law Firm takes the time to meet and talk with the client to better understand the issues in order to provide the very best legal advice for the lowest possible fee. Colvin Law Firm does not believe in assigning numerous lawyers to an issue which should be handled by one; and again, Colvin Law Firm believes in a client maintaining an ongoing relationship with a particular lawyer in the firm who is most familiar with that client. It is this ongoing personal relationship which instills in the client the confidence that Colvin Law Firm cares about their problems and is committed to finding a solution.
A major complaint leveled against lawyers today is the lack of accessibility. At Colvin Law Firm, the firm prides itself in promptly returning telephone calls and correspondence to keep the client informed and up to date on the status of the matters the firm is handling. When interviewing new clients, Colvin Law Firm always obtains home telephone numbers as well as business telephone numbers, e-mail when available, pagers or cellular telephone numbers so that the attorney knows how to get in touch with the client when the client needs us, even if it is after hours. Colvin Law Firm also provides its clients with the attorneys' cellular telephone numbers, as well as home telephone numbers so that the attorneys are accessible at all times. Colvin Law Firm believes that this access enhances its ability to deliver the highest quality legal service available.
Colvin Law Firm has the highest rating available for a law firm, both in quality of service provided and in our ethical standards. We will not take a case simply to earn a fee, and we will promptly advise you as to the merits of any legal problem presented so as not to waste time or money. We believe that clients would rather be fully informed as to the likely outcome of their legal problems before spending money pursuing a cause of action that will not be successful.
Colvin Law Firm will not let a case sit unattended, as often happens in the bigger law firms. The client will not be simply a forgotten file, as the firm's internal controls ensure that a case is reviewed often, thereby insuring that nothing "falls through the cracks." Again, Colvin Law Firm understands that a client's particular legal difficulties are often the most important thing in that client's business; and Colvin Law Firm approaches the handling of these issues as if the issues were its own.
Colvin Law Firm was formed to offer current and future clients the very best legal representation available at reasonable prices. Colvin Law Firm believes that its personalized attention separates it from the others, while providing fully integrated legal representation to clients from all walks of life, be they business, corporate, industrial or individual.
