Minneapolis, MN commercial litigation attorney Andrew Parker talks about the Parker Daniels Kibort approach to the practice of law. The fundamental and foundational pillars of Parker Daniels Keyboard, established at the firm’s inception and maintained ever since, are relationships, responsiveness, and results—the three Rs. These elements are critical to the practice of law and are the focus of the firm every day, integrated into every case handled.

Relationships are essential; it is not merely about managing legal work but genuinely understanding the client—their objectives, the significance of their issues, and the context in which they arise. Building a personal connection is also vital. Many clients have become close personal friends over the years, with some meeting for lunch regularly even long after their legal matters have been resolved. This connection not only enriches the client experience but also enhances the cases being handled.

Responsiveness stands as another cornerstone of the firm. The importance of immediate responsiveness to clients has been ingrained in the firm’s culture since its inception. A personal anecdote highlights this: the founder’s father had a longstanding relationship with his attorney, but as the attorney’s firm grew larger, communication frequency diminished. This decline led the father to seek a new lawyer who respected his time. Such respect for clients’ time significantly enhances the legal process and can positively influence the outcome of a case.

Ultimately, the emphasis on results is paramount. In litigation, success depends on achieving favorable outcomes while zealously representing the client within the established legal framework. The firm is committed to finding effective strategies to win cases and meet client objectives, positioning results as a core principle of their practice.
