Primerus Law Firms
Primerus promotes various principles that it believes any good lawyer should adhere to under what it calls the “Six Pillars.” The Six Pillars are:
- Integrity. Clients should be able to entrust their sensitive legal matters to someone with high standards.
- Excellent Work Product. Even more than winning or losing, a lawyer should be sure that records are kept reliably, communications are clear and accountable, promises are kept, and there is an adequate amount of follow-through. The lawyer should have knowledge and expertise in his or her specialty.
- Reasonable Fees. They should be based on what is customary in a given area.
- Continuing Education. Education doesn't end with a law degree. Continuing Legal Education is critical to staying at the top.
- Civility. As officers of the court, lawyers must show respect to others including opposing attorneys.
- Community Service. The law, fundamentally, exists to hold communities together. Good attorneys must give back to their communities, including pro bono service.
Our firm strives to excel in those six pillars, which gives us an opportunity to improve the legal profession.
