In an era when most of the high-profile cases are often represented by industry veterans having a docket full of precedential judicial citations, clients still admire the charm and dedication of a local firm. A notable mention of this was made when a small-town lawyer, Victoria Ferres, was chosen to represent her client James Freed at the Supreme Court level over elite law professionals.
“I think there’s something romantic about the idea that a small-town lawyer could argue their way all the way up to the Supreme Court,” Freed was quoted as saying in respect of his legal counsel. This, perhaps, outlines the trust clients often place in their local legal counsels and the potential of these local attorneys to maintain and exceed such expectations.
