Friedman Stroffe & Gerard is a business law firm. The Firm represents domestic and foreign clients in a wide variety of business transactions and litigation.

We pride ourselves in providing those services in a prompt and cost-effective manner. Our primary objective is to assist you in finding the most practical and economical method of satisfying your legal requirements. Our attorneys view your legal issues from a practical business perspective. Members of the Firm have worked as in-house attorneys or in other executive positions in the business arena and use that knowledge and "hands-on" experience to analyze and solve your legal problems.

The Firm is organized into six practice groups:

• CORPORATE AND BUSINESS
• INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
• REAL PROPERTY AND CONSTRUCTION
• LITIGATION
• LABOR & EMPLOYMENT
• TAX

The Firm represents a broad spectrum of clients -- from corporations listed on national and regional stock exchanges to family owned businesses and individuals. We have the ability to handle large sophisticated transactions, as well as service the modest needs of start-up business.

Our attorneys have practice specialties but they also all have had exposure to a wide range of civil law matters that permits a broad overview of the law. The collegial atmosphere within the firm encourages a pooling of abilities and resources. In the event that we believe that we do not have the legal expertise to handle a particular issue, we associate with known specialists.

Our clients appreciate our easy accessibility and our genuine concern in solving their legal problems. We realize that legal problems, especially litigation, can be stressful. We do our best to thoughtfully explain the "why's" and "wherefor's" of the legal services that we supply and recommend. We pride ourselves in tailoring our services to what a small company can afford as it grows. We have seen our clients' businesses start in a garage and grow into multi-million dollar corporations. We are relationship oriented and proud of the long-lasting client relationships that we have forged.

We believe that the best means of attracting new clients is by satisfying our existing clients. Our primary source of new business is referrals from our existing clients and the legal community. We attribute this to our experience and sensible business approach to legal problem solving.
