Law Firm Overview

Powell, Trachtman, Logan, Carrle & Lombardo, P.C. is a full service law firm that represents businesses and business people. The firm was formed in 1988 by attorneys who believe that the accepted model of what law firms do and how they do it needed to be re-engineered, for the simple reason that legal services as they were typically delivered were not consistently adding value to the business clients being served.

In particular, Powell Trachtman maintains the belief that the majority of business clients have not been well-served by the consolidation of law firms into international mega-firms which focus primarily on the specialized needs of major, international companies. We provide an alternative. Powell Trachtman offers its clients the services of highly-qualified attorneys who choose to work in a different kind of law firm environment -- one in which they can provide personalized legal services, at a realistic cost, to businesses of all types and sizes.

Owing to its unique approach to client service, Powell Trachtman has been recognized as one of the fastest growing and most successful firms in the region. Our clients include large, small, start-up and mature companies engaged in a wide variety of enterprises.

Lawsuit Avoidance Training and Consulting:

Lawsuits can take many years, lots of money, and lots of wasted business time to resolve. Powell Trachtman has made the prevention, and not just the resolution, of lawsuits a hallmark of our firm. We have published extensively on the subject of preventive law, we have designed forms and procedures on which companies can rely to stay out of legal trouble, and we have lectured on these topics to lawyers and trade groups throughout the country.
