You’ve made it through law school, maybe have a few years of practicing law under your belt, and understand what you like and don’t like in the profession of law. However, you have not found your groove or the place to work where you feel respected and can work hard while still having a good time. Finding balance is tough; finding good coworkers is tough; finding a place which will nurture your career and give you the tools to succeed is also tough. RKW Law Group believes that it can help you achieve those long term career goals.
RKW was founded by four friends who became law partners because they respect each other, they value good legal skills and they all share the same common goal of keeping client interests first. Working collaboratively toward their individual and firm success, RKW’s approach to client commitment means never settling for good enough.
RKW Law Group is built on the foundation of supporting clients as well as its attorneys in making educated and calculated decisions which help them succeed. Critical among this commitment to the firm’s clients is also a collegial (if not jovial) atmosphere, where the doors of all of the partners are always open for collaboration, mentorship or marketing brain-storming. In addition to helping its attorneys succeed in practicing law, among the other shared values of the partners is a commitment to supporting attorneys’ growing their practices. Shunned by many firms, marketing ideas and efforts are encouraged, cultivated and full participation in firm events is the welcome norm.
