Vast Devotion of Resources: 
                                Our axiom gives us the leading edge

The firm's goal is to harness the power of teamwork to successfully handle client cases:

• A team is assembled matching our talent pool to each case's unique requirements.
• Team members are carefully selected based on the particular skills and strengths required for the success of a particular case.
• Each CFR employee commits to whatever form of service is needed, satisfying their role to the best of their abilities.

This combination and versatility of strengths is similar in theory to a football team, where you cannot have all quarterbacks on the field at one time - the necessity of versatility and strength is a vital component to success in the adversary system. The result of this effort is that our firm brings a unique approach to the litigation process, which has historically been successful for our clients.

The individual members of our firm have different strengths: Strengths such as trial skills, including the art of voir dire (selection of a jury), cross-examination and final argument skills. To maximize these skills, our litigation team focuses our cases with mock juries, not only to sharpen these trial skills, but to develop and strengthen our case themes and test reactions to our legal theories and positions. CFR attorneys continuously strive to hone and improve their skills by reviewing advocacy books and attending and presenting at local and national legal seminars, all designed to continuously improve the quality of our legal services and increase the probability of success for our clients.

Many lawyers in the firm possess a variety of strengths outside the courtroom, including very strong pretrial skills. These skills include creative investigation, astute and adroit motion practices, and insightful and thorough legal research, all supported by a variety of highly reputable academic backgrounds. Additionally, team members bring a diversity of experience working with the agencies with whom we must influence, bringing a very practical, as well as, legal approach to the analyses relevant to a particular case.

Our lawyers are very much involved in the fact-finding process and recognize the timely significance of getting information, which otherwise would be unavailable or distorted if delayed. Consequently, the lawyers not only supervise and direct the investigators, but also spend time "in the field" gathering intelligence, a unique roll that provides the CFR client with additional tools for success in the courtroom.
