Real situations rarely respect the boundaries between practice areas. A divorce touches the family home and sometimes a business. A criminal matter can affect an immigration case. Debt problems and employment problems often arrive together.
Handling ten related areas from one office means those connections are visible in the first conversation rather than discovered later — and it means one attorney can tell you plainly when a matter belongs somewhere else.
