This is a rather unique, solo-practitioner law firm, concerned more about (1) the integrity, intelligence (mental and emotional) of its people and (2) the quality and effectiveness of its work product for the clients, than it is adherence to customary and/or expected roles, looks and behaviors of the profession - especially as depicted in tv or the movies.
