OUR VALUES
DIVERSITY
De Novo Law believes the legal community should be representative of the local community it serves. That's why we prioritize diversity in our office. We are committed to ensuring equal opportunity for our employees and our clients, and work to ensure our office is filled with people who have a broad range of personal professional experiences. We work to increase diversity in the legal field and to expand access to a diverse range of clients. Diversity not only strengthens problem-solving abilities but also enriches the firm’s approach to legal strategy, ensuring that all voices are heard and valued. In a rapidly changing world, a commitment to diversity reflects a law firm’s dedication to fairness, social responsibility, and creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
INTEGRITY
Integrity is the cornerstone of the legal profession. It fosters trust, respect, and professionalism. Clients depend on their attorneys to provide honest, ethical guidance and representation; opposing lawyers need to trust the other attorney will keep their word; and judges need to rely on attorneys to present an honest, accurate explanation of the law and facts in each case. De Novo Law is built on integrity because it not only safeguards our clients, but contributes to the broader pursuit of justice.
FAIRNESS
Fairness is crucial for lawyers because it ensures that justice is served impartially and equitably. De Novo Law approaches every case with an open mind. We treat all parties with respect and adhere to the principles of due process. Being fair helps lawyers build trust with clients, colleagues, and the courts, ensuring that decisions are made based on facts, not bias. It also safeguards the integrity of the legal system, promoting a sense of accountability and ethical conduct. At De Novo Law, we prioritize fairness because it strengthens the rule of law and ensures that all individuals are treated justly, regardless of their background or circumstances.
COURAGE
Courage is a vital part of De Novo Law's approach to practice. Courage is what drives us to take on challenging cases for working people other more expensive national law firms might run from. At De Novo Law, we stand firm in the face of adversity, confronting complex legal issues and representing clients in difficult or unpopular situations. We push boundaries, challenge injustices, and stand up for clients who may not have a voice otherwise. In doing so, they foster trust, uphold the integrity of the legal system, and contribute to meaningful change.
JUSTICE
De Novo Law is committed to achieving justice by prioritizing the needs of working people and making a meaningful social impact. We understand that access to fair legal representation is essential for empowering individuals and communities. By championing the rights of those who often face systemic challenges, we strive to create positive change through every case we take on. De Novo Law believes in using the law as a tool for social good—fighting for fair treatment, equality, and accountability. We are dedicated to not only advocating for our clients but also advancing a broader mission of justice and equity in society.
