Service Philosophy
Fitzpatrick Law believes that every client, every representation, is a privilege. Good lawyers listen to their clients and pay attention to budgetary constraints. We think "smart business” and “environmental compliance” are not mutually exclusive terms, and that regulatory and municipal officials and staff should be treated with professionalism and respect – even when you’re playing hardball. The Fitzpatrick firm holds that the practice of law, although surely a business, should be pursued as an Honorable Profession – with integrity, a sense of duty, and fierce pursuit of our clients' cause.
