Summary
Law Firm Overview
Beginning its second century, Defrees & Fiske is an experienced, innovative firm which provides its clients with advice and services on a wide array of legal issues. We are committed to the same time-proven mission - to provide personalized, legal services of the highest quality - that guided us more than a century ago when the first great communications revolution, created by the telegraph, united the country and forever changed the speed of doing business. Our success, then as now, depends on our ability to provide excellent service at a fair price.
Excellence requires hard work and a dedication to personal service. The breadth of talent and experience of our lawyers allow us to be expert in our craft, but excellence requires more than first-class legal knowledge. It requires that we communicate well, and often, with our clients. It requires that we are accessible for your questions, that we return your telephone calls, correspondence, and e-mail messages promptly, and that we complete the projects entrusted to us in a timely manner. It requires a personal commitment to the success of your business. And it requires that we do all of this at a fair price.
