Part of our goal is to live and work in a place where legal issues regarding pets will be addressed in a consistent, predictable, and modern manner under the law.

Our website invites you to read, listen and watch to learn about what we do, how we do it and for whom. Contained here are more than 150 glimpses into what we do and nearly 250 stories about the pets we have represented. You can navigate to the "Our Work" tab and the "In the News" tab.

There will soon be a tab providing tips to pet owners based on our experiences so that rights and protections are better understood.
