ABOUT OUR PHILOSOPHY At Bullard Smith Jernstedt Wilson, we believe in specialized service. The essence of our practice lies in the personal as well as professional interest we take in the labor and employment issues facing each of our clients. We take pride in our ability to assess matters from a client's perspective. Every labor or employment issue that affects one of our clients is important and receives our full energy, enthusiasm and legal talent. The cornerstones of our client service are: PREVENTIVE PLANNINGWe believe our clients are best served by preventive advice and planning. Through this process we work hard to keep our clients informed of legal developments that may affect their specific interests. We have found that this effort can help our clients to avoid the costs and inconvenience associated with litigation or administrative proceedings. Through periodic labor law updates, mailings, conferences, and seminars, we work to ensure that our clients are prepared to make informed decisions regarding the important issues they face. TEAMWORKThe firm operates as a team. We enjoy a high level of compatibility among our attorneys and work to foster that spirit. We also keep each other well-advised about client and legal developments. Our teamwork not only provides our clients with the benefit of pooled expertise and experience, but also allows us to provide a quick, informed response to clients who have immediate needs regardless of whether the attorney who usually advises a client happens to be away from the office. COMMUNICATIONWe communicate frequently and in-depth with our clients. Regular updates on matters we are handling, as well as advice on new developments which may affect our clients' interests, are an important part of our representation. Thorough communication and competence in the advice and representation we provide are very important to us. INTEGRITYWe represent the interests of our clients aggressively, with honesty and integrity, and we make a conscious effort to work efficiently. Opposing counsel and union officials have characterized the lawyers in our firm as "tough and honest," which we accept as high praise. We uphold the highest ethical standards in all of our dealings with clients, courts, administrative agencies, union representatives, and opposing counsel. VALUEWe provide good value to our clients by monitoring the cost-effectiveness of our services. As experienced management labor lawyers, we can often advise clients on particular legal issues without the additional cost of extensive legal research. We welcome open and regular communication with clients on all matters related to billing.
