The firm serves a stratified client base spanning individuals, small-to-mid-sized businesses, financial institutions, and Fortune 100/500 corporations such as Rite Aid Corporation, McDonald's Corporation, Walgreens Co., Harris Teeter, Sheetz, Sam's Mart, and Union Bank, with notable representation in high-stakes condemnation, eminent domain, plaintiff-side tort, and commercial loan workout matters. Documented case outcomes include several dozen seven-figure and higher personal injury recoveries, an 883% increase above initial government deposit in a condemnation matter ($48,500 to $428,392), a $1.2 million hotel-property eminent domain settlement more than double the state's initial offer, a $1.8 million farmland eminent domain settlement for a seven-stakeholder family partnership, and a $15,000 bankruptcy preference-action settlement against a $388,512 claim. Membership since 1990 in the MSI Global Alliance provides cross-border referral capability through a 250+ firm, 100+ country network.

The business model is fee-for-service legal representation: hourly billing, contingency fees for personal injury and wrongful death cases, and flat fees for transactional matters, with free initial consultations offered to prospective personal injury clients. Revenue, billings, and per-attorney productivity are not publicly disclosed. Client acquisition is driven primarily by attorney referrals, professional reputation, online directories (Martindale.com, Lawyers.com), the firm's website and social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), and earned peer-recognition awards including AV Preeminent, Super Lawyers, Legal Elite, and Best Lawyers in America.
