We’re not a ‘factory firm’ – by that I mean, we’re not a legal ‘mill’ cranking clients through the system like they’re widgets. When our firm decides to represent you, you’ll meet directly with your attorney from day one – some clients don’t even know who their attorney is until they get into court! Every case is important to us – and we know how important your case is to you – at Badey, Sloan & DiGenova, you’ll feel that. I promise.
