Client-Centered Legal Support

Our law firm has a story built on a shared vision and a commitment to keeping the focus firmly on our clients. Our founding attorneys, Shawna D. Vasilko and Christian “Chris” Pedersen, worked together previously and realized that they had a common belief in how legal services should be provided. They saw a need for a firm with a team that would truly put the needs and successes of its clients first.

They set out to establish a law firm where clients could feel comfortable and supported. They wanted to eliminate the confusion and intimidation that often come with legal issues. So, when we speak to clients, we make sure that they understand their options. We believe that clear communication is the cornerstone of trust and successful attorney-client relationships.
