What Sets KRZ Apart

Size: KRZ has made a conscious choice to remain a small to mid-sized law firm. We find our size allows us to deliver a full range of services, but in a personalized and responsive format. Large business clients get the attention they need, but small companies and individual clients are never lost in the shuffle.

Teamwork: The attorneys at KRZ have known each other and worked together for many years. The firm is noted for its cohesiveness, and the sense of family it brings to the business environment. The firm’s culture thus fosters the kind of collaboration and cooperation that greatly benefits our clients.

Expertise: The strength of KRZ resides in its attorneys. Each attorney brings to the firm substantial experience in a variety of practice specialties. We do not need to educate ourselves at the expense of our clients.

Trial Skills: The common denominator at KRZ is that every partner is a skilled negotiator and trial attorney. Thus, whether the matter starts out as a business transaction, a question of employment law, or an agency proceeding, our attorneys are prepared to aggressively represent our client’s interests in negotiations, at trial, or in an alternative dispute resolution forum.

Efficiency: The bottom line is that the cost of legal services depends on how efficiently the lawyer or lawyers are able to perform the tasks necessary to properly serve their clients. We believe that in view of our size, our ability to work as a team, and the individual experience of our attorneys, we are able to provide our clients with high quality legal services delivered in a highly efficient manner.
