Who Will Handle My Criminal Defense Case at Kurtz & Blum?

 

Kurtz & Blum Discuss The Firm’s Team Approach

At Kurtz & Blum, PLLC, we believe strongly in a team approach. That means that we are constantly talking about our cases together.

Seth and I regularly discuss the intricacies of DWI law or what constitutes reasonable suspicion for police officer to pull someone over with our associates.

Almost as frequently, we spend lunch discussing the rules of evidence as they apply to a custody hearing with our civil associate, Kathryn Graham.

Whether it’s a question of law or a debate over trial tactics, we spend most of our time sparring and testing our theories together. Instead of one legal mind, when someone hires Kurtz & Blum, PLLC, they get the whole team.

Personal Injury & Family Law

When it comes to personal injury, child custody, divorce, or workers compensation, Kathryn Graham is on point.  She knows the law and these are her cases.

Felony Defense

When it comes to serious felony defense, Howard and I have over 4 decades of experience between us, and we are the first line of attack.

Misdemeanor Defense

Misdemeanors, including domestic violence and minor larcenies, DWIs and traffic cases are typically handled by our well trained associates. We talk through every single case together and develop the best strategy possible given the specific circumstances.

Our associates are the same age range as the prosecutors handling traffic and misdemeanor cases and thus have more common ground between them and those assistant district attorneys. We use this common ground to our clients’ advantage.

Though occasionally we do have clients who are willing to pay substantially greater fees for Howard or I to handle their minor criminal cases personally, most are handled by our skilled associates. Lest there be any doubt, our associates are highly skilled trial lawyers; we should know, we trained them ourselves.
