JEFFREY A. KOPIS
PARTNER
MY PHILOSOPHY
I believe the best way to help my clients solve their legal issues is through communication. Meeting with them in person, listening to them first and then explaining how I can use the law to address their needs. Once I take on a client’s case communication continues with promptly returning phone calls or emails, answering questions and keeping the client regularly updated on the status of their case. I treat each client just like I would expect to be treated if I had a legal issue.
