At Schnelker, Rassi & McConnell, we are a law firm that thinks like a business.

Our Philosophy

Client Focus

We Believe:

• Clients don't want cookie-cutter counsel. They want their attorney to listen to their specific problem/issue and custom fit a solution for their current situation.

• Clients want advice and recommendations, not endless options.

• Clients want their attorney to be available and proactive, not constantly putting them off or missing deadlines.

• Clients want their attorney to take problems off their desk, not punt the problems back to them.

• Clients want their attorney to resolve their legal problems as expeditiously and practically as possible, not to churn time and expense unnecessarily.

Our Resolve

To serve our clients with proactive, responsive, and practical advice and counsel.

• We listen carefully.

• We give advice.

• We make recommendations.

• We solve problems.

• We get things done.

• We don't mess around.

Industry Specific Experience
