Brad and Kim care about people. Brad uses his intelligence to make peace. Brad can be confrontational when necessary when he thinks someone (even a client) needs redirection. Kim manages many details around the office and provides litigation support. She is a warm conversationalist and a person of quiet courage. Sofie, our miniature pinscher, keeps things lively around office and home.
Litigation benefits no one except attorneys. Courts exist to end intractable conflicts and should be the forum of last resort. The bulk of a competent attorney’s labor consists in negotiating workable compromises and drafting conflict-avoiding language. When litigation cannot be avoided, courtesy, candor, and reason must temper vigorous advocacy. Ethical probity and personal trustworthiness are the essence of practicing law. Litigation winners lose; losers are inconsolable. Human conflict needs a better, a collaborative, means of resolution. America's litigation culture serves no one's fundamental interests.
Brad teaches philosophical ethics Saturday mornings for The Witless Protection Society at Third Place Books. He writes on ethical topics for local newspapers, some of which are available on the Lancaster Law Office website.
