Founding Partners, Adam Slipakoff and Howard “Howie” Slomka have both worked in large and small law firms and with high-end clients as well as small.

Using their experience to simplify needlessly complex processes, they found a love for guarding clients, from further trepidation and strife.
There will always be a place in the world for traditional “by the book”, black and white, logic-driven law firms. Adam and Howie simply believe their clients...

Over the years, I've worked in many different areas of the law. Of all legal practice areas, the work I enjoy most is defending against debt collection efforts and and protecting people against unlawful collection practices. The reason is that it's one of the few areas where a lawyer can not only make clients happy, but exceed their expectations. Sometimes, being a lawyer is little more than "mop up" duty. The damage is already done and the lawyers are just there to help with the clean-up. It can also involve high stakes and place attorneys and their clients under enormous...

On the morning of July 3, 2003, I was driving to cover Court for another attorney during a tropical storm, when I was blown off the road by the intense rain and high winds.

I spent a short time in a medically-induced coma, followed by about three weeks of being unconscious. The accident left me paralyzed on my right side, and I spent approximately four to five months after I awoke re-learning...
