There is no secret to obtaining a successful result in a law case.  It is called hard work.  It has often been said that the law is a “jealous mistress” who demands all of the lawyer’s time.  The lawyer who works the hardest usually wins.  No legal work in Jerry’s office is delegated to paralegals or legal assistants.  Jerry’s practice is not high volume which allows him to devote the necessary time to properly and thoroughly work up each client’s case.

The attorney-client relationship has many aspects.  Jerry utilizes a team approach with his clients with the objective of having the whole being greater than the sum of the parts.  This collaborative effort leads to the best likelihood of obtaining the most favorable result for the client.
