Founded in 1928, Herrick, Feinstein is a unique blend of legal talent and creative energy. The firm is small enough to render the most personalized service, yet because it is so focused it can handle the most sophisticated transactions and the most complex litigation in those areas in which it concentrates.
The firm is distinguished from others by (i) its ability to create practical and imaginative business solutions to complex legal problems as a result of the partners" own varied business experiences, (ii) its willingness to staff matters so as to effect cost savings for its clients and (iii) its close knit atmosphere, engendered by the mutual respect with which its attorneys treat one another.
