About Our Firm
“The best pieces of advice I ever got from him were to remember that the opposing lawyer in a lawsuit is your opponent, not your enemy, ‘so treat him with respect,’ and remember to be careful how you treat people on the way up because you never know when you might run into them on the way down. I’ve tried to follow both of those.”
– David Sullivan, speaking of his father, James Sullivan.

Core Principles Of Practice Passed Down By Our Founders
Respect
The Firm Founders imbedded the ethos of Respect into every aspect of our legal practice. We respect our clients by offering skilled and experienced representation for every matter. We respect our adversaries by understanding the difference between an opponent and an enemy. We know for our business clients this is critically important because an opponent in one matter may become a partner for another.
