More about the firm

"Hi Pete and Lorrie...

I cannot thank you both enough for supporting me on this journey. Add to that your understanding and patience as I asked many questions, needed clarification on things, and made some stumbles along the way. I have definitely landed in a much better place.

 

 You are both gems and I am truly grateful that I had you in my corner. Words cannot express how much I appreciate your time, effort, and guidance!

 

 

Happy Client

We have dealt with Giffen for many years and have a strong relationship with the firm and its people.  We always found the lawyers and staff of Giffen to be not just highly skilled, but very personable, responsive and easy to deal with.  As a family owned multi–generational business, we found the firm's support, service and advice to be invaluable

 

– Dick K.

Our association with Giffen goes back more than 20 years.  The various members of the Giffen team who have worked with and for us over the years have always shown an excellent understanding of our needs and being creative and flexible in approaching solutions.  Their professionalism, time sensitivity and concern for our family has always been evident in our dealings with the firm and their fees have always been fair.  I have no hesitation in recommending them as outstanding corporate legal counsel.
