Three Foundations for Success

Our law firm is guided by three foundations for success: Availability, Personal Connection, and Experience. We are not glamorized faces on a billboard, television commercial, or a bus. We are your personal attorneys who perform the actual legal work on your case. When you hire an attorney at MRD, you don’t just hire one lawyer; you hire every lawyer in the firm.

Availability

You will speak to and communicate with your personal attorney, not an associate managed by a marketing figurehead for the firm.

Personal Connection

Our attorneys will know you as a person, not just a file number. Our livelihoods depend on successful outcomes for you and your family.

Experience

Different lawyers have different expertise and talents. By hiring MRD, you will receive the appropriate level of experience required to successfully resolve your case.
