History
Please excuse the incomplete state of this website. Since the firm’s founding we have had the good fortune to rely entirely on word-of-mouth and referrals for new projects and clients. As a result we have not prioritized marketing or web presence (we know, classic “do as I say, not as I do”). However, we recently have received an increased number of referrals, many related to COVID-19 restructuring. We find there are usually at least 2, often 3 or more degrees of degrees of separation between us and these prospective clients. Due to the urgent nature of COVID-19 and PPP projects, we have released this development version of our website in the hopes that it accelerates the exploration process for prospective clients. We hope it is helpful to you and we welcome your feedback and suggestions on how it can be improved.
