COTTEN SCHMIDT, L.L.P. 

"We are attacking your legal problems with next-level analysis, purposeful strategy and attention to detail. Our firm is driven by unique principles and our staff is characterized by professionalism

and legal experience in order to provide loyal, confidential assistance and high performance to

our clients."

Early case assessment and early case resolution are key strategies we use for managing our client’s legal needs and legal budgets.

When necessary, however, we are ready for the long haul - ready and experienced at stepping into the courtroom as trial lawyers, not litigators, or the arbitration arena to handle our clients’ matters to the very end, through trial and appeal.

When it comes to the internal structure of the firm, respect, trust and diversity in every aspect of the practice is key. We do not have “practice sections” within the firm, but rather create teams for each specific, individual case and client. We do not have a hierarchy among the partners, which is common in most firms. We are deeply committed to diversity and flexibility of work-life arrangements.

OpportunitiesCotten Schmidt, L.L.P. offers exciting career

opportunities for both new lawyers and lateral hires.

We are proud of the academic and legal accomplishments of our attorneys, and our creation of

an individual and forward-thinking workplace.

DiversityOur firm was founded by forward-thinking

lawyers who wanted to break away from thetraditional law firm model that was standardat the time, and which is still prevalent today.In building a law practice that surpassed theconventional, our founders recognized thevalue of a workplace that embraced varied

perspectives, talents and interests - qualitiesbeyond the ordinary.

Cost SavingsOur legal services throughout the country serve our

clients at a notably lower cost than the typical medium to large-sized law firms. As our clients tighten belts to accommodate an ever-tougher market economy, they

have no tolerance for bloated legal costs. We use diverse, leveraged staffing, and alternative billing

arrangements to achieve the greatest cost efficiencies possible.

Common SenseThe focus and goal for our clients begins with evaluation of and counseling on preventative

measures and extend to efficient and economic handling of claims and lawsuits, through mediation, trial and appeal. Our common sense approach to

legal matters and litigation, plus our business and trial experience, mean we stand ready to handle whatever

conflict, crisis, or issue might arise.

Client FocusedWe respond directly, effectively and as efficiently as

possible to the needs of our clients, combining exceptional, professional, and high-tech resources with a culture of personal, responsive service sometimes hard to

obtain with a large firm.

PerformanceOur superior service and performance comes from a team

of exceptional legal professionals from different backgrounds who bring to our practice a wealth of ideas, knowledge and experience. The differences among our

members bring strength and value to our workplace environment and to the work we do for our clients.

TechnologyWith 24/7 remote access to our offices and our files, we

can practice from near and far. It is one of Cotten Schmidt, L.L.P.’s pledges to our clients: Apply leading edge
