Our Core Business Values

First, we take our responsibility to our clients very seriously.

We value the opportunities brought to us by our clients who entrust us with their legal and tax matters. We will act aggressively to assist our clients with their legal needs. We will work zealously to provide consistent, high quality legal and tax planning services. We will work to diligently to create a solid legal framework to achieve our clients’ personal, financial and business objectives. We will be responsive to our clients’ questions and concerns. And we will closely guard and protect the confidential information our clients disclose to us.

Second, we value financial success for our clients, our employees, and ourselves.

We believe in capitalism and the entrepreneurial spirit, which generates wealth. We understand the drive for financial success is a primary source of wealth creation, job creation and growth for our clients, our company and our community. We particularly believe in the responsible stewardship of the land and businesses that have been nurtured by our senior generation family members.

Third, we value knowledge, experience, and the associated legal skills that are essential to providing high quality legal services to our clients.

Knowledge and experience are the lifeblood of a legal practice. Yet knowledge of the law alone is not enough to produce high quality service and work product. Therefore, we have created systems, committed resources, and training so that every member of our firm can contribute to the quality of our services and the satisfaction of our clients. Further, we have designed a team structure, which will allow us to perform our services in an efficient manner, enabling us to provide valuable services within the budgets we establish with our clients. We will continue to provide resources and training to our attorneys, assistants, and staff so that all of our employees contribute to the quality of our services by having the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their duties and responsibilities.

Fourth, we highly value the office personnel who make up our firm.

At Calone and Harrel Law Group we have a strong work ethic. We work as a team and we have a strong commitment to our employees. We will do our best to treat all office personnel with dignity and respect. We will employ systems and commit resources to help all our office personnel develop the skills and talents they need to excel in the legal profession. We are committed to assisting every member of our firm achieve their goals for professional development, provided their personal goals do not conflict with our firm values and responsibilities. We realize that knowledge among key personnel is not enough if it does not filter down to our staff and into the work product we create. So we are firmly committed to every member of our firm who acts consistently with our values. We want each employee to contribute to our ability to produce a high quality work product for our clients.

Fifth, while our work is serious and demanding, we value opportunities to have a little fun in the work place.

Further, we understand our commitments outside the work place to our families. Ultimately, our families deserve our commitment and support for without their love and respect we cannot give our best effort to achieving our other professional goals.

Last, but not least, we value our business partners.

ACHIEVING CLIENT SATISFACTION

We believe a high level of client satisfaction is extremely important to our success. We believe we can best achieve client satisfaction if we provide high quality services, which add value to our clients’ personal, business, and financial success.

We realize that creative and sophisticated legal planning, planning which clients can have confidence in, can be expensive. Yet good legal planning can be invaluable to the extent it creates a substantial tax savings, reduces likelihood of future litigation among family members or business partners, brings a business transaction to fruition, improves the chances of a successful business transition, or resolves other legal issues and problems.

Nevertheless, we realize that value, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Therefore we will act with fairness and integrity in our business and professional dealings to achieve client satisfaction. We hope that we will gain your confidence and trust by being responsive to your concerns and by being highly capable of creating the legal documents necessary to achieve favorable results.
