Our Philosophy
Default Services Philosophy
Wouldn’t it be amazing if your law firm had big firm litigation experience, but also provided unparalleled bankruptcy and eviction representation by attorneys and paralegals with decades of experience? Your foreclosures and escrow matters would also be handled by this same firm. It is a true one-stop firm where every client is provided individual care with exceptional service.
That’s Steele LLP. Providing an extraordinary law firm experience for all your default servicing needs. We are excited to show you what knowledge, experience, and superior service can do for you.
Our Litigation Philosophy
It would be great if all civil disputes could be resolved through reasonable discussion and negotiation, without the need for court involvement. Unfortunately, that’s not always possible. When lawsuits become warranted, you need smart, strategic, experienced advocates on your team. That’s Steele LLP.
We know that no two clients and no two cases are exactly alike. That means no two solutions are exactly alike either. Every one of your matters deserves – and will receive – individualized attention. Before proposing a course of action, we’ll make sure to spend the time necessary to fully understand your objectives so we can design a plan to achieve them. Sometimes that means bringing the sledgehammer; other times it means wielding a scalpel. Having said that, we will never propose action simply for the sake of doing “something.” We will always base our recommendations on what we think is in your best interest. Our short-term bottom line isn’t the point. Our long-term relationship with you is.
So, while we cannot guarantee the outcome of any matter, we can guarantee we’ll do everything in our power to help you achieve your goals.
Our Transactional Philosophy
We’re skilled litigators who don’t shy away from a fight, but wouldn’t it be better if you could avoid a dispute in the first place? After many decades as lawyers, we’ve come to believe that the best defense isn’t necessarily a good offense . . . it’s avoiding the need to play defense in the first place. That means helping our clients negotiate, draft and enter into agreements that clearly and concisely set forth everyone’s respective rights and obligations in plain English. We’re not fans of “legalese” — we think your legal documents should be written so you can understand them without a law degree. We also think that if you can clearly express something in a single sentence, there’s no reason to draft an entire paragraph strewn with unnecessary words.
That said, succinct does NOT mean unsophisticated. Clients frequently come to us to help reach and paper complex deals requiring both extraordinary care and outside-the-box creativity. We pride ourselves on offering thoughtful, strategic advice and then drafting clear, precise legal documents to articulate your deal terms. A carefully drafted agreement clearly defining the parties’ rights and responsibilities is much less likely to become the source of a later legal dispute.
Conflicts can’t always be avoided. If you get caught in one, we’ll be there by your side to help successfully navigate your way through it. But we know the best way to avoid conflicts is to make sure your agreements are unambiguous from the start.
