At Lankler & Carragher, we understand that retaining counsel is a significant event. We never lose sight of that fact and our firm mission and guiding principles are driven solely by our dedication to our clients.

Our firm mission is to deliver cost-effective legal services of the highest quality. However, quality services that are not directly defined by client needs are useless and wasteful. That is why, at the outset of every matter, we work with our clients to determine their goals and the best strategy to achieve them. We never lose sight of these goals and we constantly revisit our strategies with our clients to take into account events as they unfold.

We firmly believe that a problem avoided is usually better than a problem resolved; we do not believe in pyrrhic victories. However, some legal problems cannot be avoided and some involve matters of principle that require a determined fight. In those cases, we bring a gladiator spirit to the problem. Our clients know that we do not believe in looking for a compromise on the courthouse steps.

We bring many old-fashioned values to the practice of law. Our relationship with our clients is always the bedrock upon which our counsel and services are based. We will invest our time into learning about our clients' problems and businesses so that we may best serve their interests. We make ourselves available to our clients whenever they need us. We are here to answer questions, even if they do not relate to a pending matter. We do not expect compensation when answering discrete questions outside of the scope of pending matters because it helps us foster a relationship with our clients and better understand their businesses. We give our clients our direct telephone lines and cell phone numbers so that they can most easily reach us during non-business hours, weekends, or when we are traveling on business. We have designed our information systems so we can securely access client files and communicate with clients by e-mail no matter where we are. In sum, a client deserves prompt access to his or her lawyer, and that is what we provide.

We believe that the time we invest in our clients is time well spent, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss with you how Lankler & Carragher can give you the service and counsel that you need and deserve.
