About the Organization
In 1978, they opened as Delaware’s first suburban law office to respond to the overwhelming need for legal services for the middle-income consumer. The rich always could afford attorneys and the poor had free legal services. Middle-income consumers always were left out in the cold.
Since that time, the firm’s focus has been to help those in the middle. The firm has helped protect the rights of thousands of people in all areas of the state.
