He founded this firm because he got tired of watching great strategy get buried under big-firm overhead.
Thirty years in. Hundreds of matters across corporate litigation, M&A, and business disputes. Before Cavell, he spent two decades at a national firm — sharp work, slow machine.
The clients he remembers most aren't the ones with the biggest deals. They're the ones who assumed they couldn't afford real counsel — and found out they were wrong.
That's still the reason he does this.

How we works
What to expect when you work with us.
We read everything.
Before your first call, everything you’ve sent will already be reviewed. You won’t need to repeat yourself.
We show the reality.
Not the optimistic one, not the discouraging one. The accurate one, with the uncertainties clearly labeled.
We stay on your case.
You hired the attorney, not the firm. Your matter stays in experienced hands — without being passed around.
We respond quickly.
Not because we have to — because letting a client sit with uncertainty wastes everyone’s time.
Track record
Results we can talk about.
"People don't come to us because they know what they need. They come because they know something is wrong — and they need someone to name it clearly."
