| Tell me about working with Brad and Kim. |
| Lancasters prefer informality with their clients. Brad and Kim stress communication. Both are very organized people. Lancasters copy all documents sent or received in your matter to you (with the exception of collaborative divorce back-channel communications). You will receive Lancaster’s home telephone number for emergencies. You will be treated as an important person, because you are important. Brad believes that you are his boss. Express yourself. You make your strategic decisions. Brad will advise you. |
|
| Tell me about Lancasters. |
| Brad and Kim care about people. Brad uses his intelligence to make peace. Brad can be confrontational when necessary when he thinks someone (even a client) needs redirection. Kim manages many details around the office and provides litigation support. She is a warm conversationalist and a person of quiet courage. |
|
| What is Brad’s philosophy of practice? |
| Litigation benefits no one except attorneys. Courts exist to end intractable conflicts and should be the forum of last resort. The bulk of a competent attorney’s labor consists in negotiating workable compromises and drafting conflict-avoiding language. When litigation cannot be avoided, courtesy, candor, and reason must temper vigorous advocacy. Ethical probity and personal trustworthiness are the essence of practicing law. |
