My clients have always told me that they “hire lawyers, not law firms.” So after 22 wonderful years at Greenberg Glusker, I left to start my own firm. Simply put, in most cases, the extra support provided by a large law firm is far outweighed by the extra cost associated with it. At large firms, the vast majority of legal matters subsidize the small minority of matters that truly require a large firm platform.
I am the same lawyer I was when I became partner at Greenberg Glusker in January 2001. The same lawyer I was when I was named the head of the firm’s litigation department in 2006. The same lawyer I was when I joined the firm’s management committee in 2009. The same lawyer I was when I became the firm’s managing partner in 2011. And with the miracle of modern technology, I can provide the same broad support.
