New York, NY commercial litigation attorneys Philip Kessler, Stephen Hoffman, and Richard Green talk about what makes their firm different, the level of service clients can expect, and what to look for in hiring a lawyer. What sets the firm apart is the presence of three senior lawyers—Philip Kessler, Richard Green, and a third distinguished attorney—each with a long history of successfully handling complex cases.

Unlike many other firms, this one does not delegate significant work to less experienced attorneys, a key differentiating factor.

As a boutique firm comprised entirely of very senior lawyers, clients can expect personalized, hands-on involvement in every aspect of their case. The firm does not pass work down to junior associates; instead, senior lawyers are actively engaged in every transaction. This approach leverages their extensive experience, seasoned judgment, efficiency, creativity, and agility. The firm’s guiding philosophy is to treat clients as they themselves would want to be treated if in the client’s position. They hold themselves to high standards and expect clients to have similar high expectations. The commitment is to provide responsive, nimble, and efficient service at reasonable rates.

When selecting legal representation, clients require a lawyer with deep experience in the relevant field. They seek an attorney who is not only intelligent, articulate, and clear-thinking but also approachable and easy to speak with about sensitive matters. The ideal lawyer is open, non-judgmental, and trustworthy—someone who offers a reliable and supportive presence. A client’s trust in the lawyer’s track record and the quality of their engagement builds confidence in the lawyer’s ability to handle the case effectively.
