Sincerity

We tell you the truth, even when it's not what you want to hear. No legal jargon to sound smart. No inflating problems to justify fees. No promising outcomes we can't deliver. When you ask if you should sign something, we give you honest counsel about what protects you and what risks you're taking—because your trust matters more than looking impressive.

Accessibility

Legal support shouldn't require waiting weeks for an answer. We built Continuous Counsel so you have someone to call when contracts arrive at 4pm, when you're not sure if a clause is standard, when you just need to ask. We answer emails. We schedule quickly. We explain things in plain language. Being a great lawyer means being available when you actually need help.

Relationships

Creative work lives in collaboration, and every contract affects multiple people. We practice relational law—considering not just what you can demand legally, but what preserves the professional relationships your work depends on. When we negotiate, we're thinking about your next deal with this partner, your reputation in your community, and whether this agreement will hold up when things get complicated (because they always do).

Strategic Thinking

We see legal challenges as puzzles with multiple solutions, not just standard templates to apply. Our unconventional backgrounds—museums, restaurants, military leadership, Fortune 500 companies—mean we spot opportunities others miss. When you need to close a deal fast, resolve a dispute without burning bridges, or structure something that doesn't fit the usual boxes, we find the way through.

Follow-Through

We do what we say we'll do when we say we'll do it. If we commit to reviewing something by Friday, it's done by Friday. If we tell you we'll handle the filing, you don't have to follow up three times. If we say we'll be your emergency contact, we actually answer when you call. Because consistency is how trust gets built—and your creative business can't afford legal counsel who drops the ball.
