The Firm
Feldman
Weinstein & Smith LLP Our
Mission
Entrepreneurs and financiers need a
lawyer who thinks like a business professional
and can skillfully close a deal or draft
a contract. They need an advisor to
help develop a long-term relationship
and solve those problems that are difficult
to discuss objectively with friends
or colleagues. At times, they need a
litigator to pursue their business goals
and protect their legal rights through
the judicial system. At Feldman Weinstein
& Smith, our goal is to satisfy
the needs of each client on every
assignment - to approach all matters
creatively, efficiently, carefully and
at a reasonable cost. Experience
At Feldman Weinstein & Smith, all
of our principal attorneys have had
large firm experience and have broken
free from the "golden handcuffs"
of the big law firms. We prefer the
independence and greater professional
satisfaction possible in a smaller boutique
firm catering to emerging growth and
middle market companies, both public
and private. Our clients benefit through direct access to senior attorneys on a regular basis. Reasonable
Cost; Flat Fees
Since we are free of the lumbering,
wasteful bureaucracies of larger firms,
our fees are typically about half those
of the large and mid-size firms. Whenever
possible, we prefer to work on a project
fee basis, where a flat fee is agreed
upon before starting work. We believe
a flat fee maximizes our incentive to
work efficiently, to simplify
the transactional process, and to complete
the project as quickly as possible.
All of this is done without jeopardizing the
protection our clients deserve. Personal
Attention
While we typically work as a team, we
understand that most clients hire an
attorney, not a law firm. Every client
has consistent and direct contact
with the principal attorney on their
matter. We do not pass work on to junior
colleagues without your consent or train associates at your expense.
All of our attorneys apply a four-hour
telephone callback rule for clients,
though typically the response time is shorter.
As a result of the extra attention from
senior attorneys, we have developed
a strong reputation for solving problems
that seem insoluble, facilitating
resolutions without unnecessary litigation, and, when necessary, litigating
from a position of strength.
