Whether they are individual citizens, small businesses, or major corporations, we keep our caseload low, thus assuring maximum attention is given to the very special people and clients we are honored to represent. This commitment to a specialized area allows the firm to better serve its clients through the use of advanced litigation support mechanisms unfamiliar to many who venture into the courtroom only on occasion. Combining the generalist’s appreciation for the breadth of client concerns with the specialist’s ability to cut to the heart of the problem, The Yerrid Law Firm is closely attuned to the merits and utility of alternative dispute resolution techniques and the firm features a certified mediator as well as an arbitrator. Attorneys at The Yerrid Law Firm continually strive to meet the legal and practical needs of those we are honored to represent.

Our firm has chosen to “advertise” only through accomplishments for its clients, results obtained in the courtroom, and most importantly, the tremendous reputation we have been fortunate to earn by exerting our very best efforts for every client from every walk of life.
