At L&J, we are proud of our extensive legal history. Since 1980, when our law firm was founded, we have dedicated ourselves to serving the needs of our individual clients. Today we have grown to become one of the good law firms across the globe representing people in areas such as Personal Injury, Family Law, Trust and Estates, Employment Law, Workers' Compensation, Consumer Fraud, and Class Actions. The firm was founded in 1980 by Jaxon A. Clarke, a man of uncommon determination and an icon of the legal profession. Books and news accounts document his tenacity, legal acumen, and integrity. Inspired by the leadership of Jaxon A. Clarke, and commitment to delivering effective legal services to both large and small businesses and to individuals, the firm prospered and earned a place of prominence in the global legal community. From its humble beginnings, with offices over a storefront, to its own office buildings at the crossroads of strategic cities around the world, with state-of-the-art information technology systems, the firm has earned a stellar reputation as a formidable advocate and astute advisor in business.

As it has grown to offer its services throughout strategic offices around the world, it continues to remain linked to all of the people, legal resources, and clients through state-of-the-art technology systems. Despite growth, the firm's culture and core values have not changed — competent, effective, and practical legal services for the firm's business clients and individual clients — one by one — generation by generation. The depth and breadth of the capabilities of our firm's lawyers is noteworthy. Presidents, senators, governors, and mayors have relied upon firm attorneys for nearly over a decade. From its ranks of talented lawyers have come bar association presidents, numerous Superior Court judges, prosecutors, members of judicially-appointed committees, policymakers, authors, and professors. Grounded in community and rich in history, the firm continues to provide legal services to individuals and businesses. It has represented clients who have shaped and re-shaped our landscapes and cityscapes; financed and built commercial and residential developments, schools, and hospitals; and delivered the utilities necessary to sustain growth in our region. Whether helping to form a start-up business, structuring a merger of existing businesses, negotiating buy-outs, preparing a public stock offering, or resolving business disputes through litigation or mediation, the firm's lawyers provide legal acumen combined with practical experience and proven strategies to gain a competitive edge.

This commitment to clients and to the excellence of work product has resulted in L&J's lawyers being continuously acknowledged in their areas of practice. They have been recipients of countless local, state and national awards from professional associations, organizations, and consumer groups. They are frequently sought for teaching and lecturing positions for members of the bar and for the general public. Their commitment to the community has also resulted in recognition of the firm's myriad charitable sponsorships and initiatives, free legal services to the poor and indigent, and individual attorney involvement as leading volunteers for various not-for-profit boards and foundations. The firm has also maintained as another core value a public commitment reflected by its representation of public entities and involvement in local, state and federal government. Practicing law, teaching the law and shaping the law is what we do. We are proud of our heritage and cherish our client relationships.
