What Makes Korb Law Group Different?

Seven Key Factors do…

Experience: Richard E. Korb, who heads the firm, is a seasoned attorney with 30 years of experience and several hundred cases under his belt.

Personalized Attention: We understand the value of personalized attention and efficientservice:  In many law firms, your case won’t be handled by a senior partner unless you have a major case and are prepared to pay thousands of dollars. Often, your case will be assigned to a young attorney who will learn on your dime. At Korb Law Group, we will not pass off your case off to an inexperienced associate  or assistant or make you feel like you’re in a “mill.” Richard will personally handle and represent you each step of the way. If you need to appear in court, Mr. Korb will be at your side. Your case is never “too small” and we will not pass off your case off to an inexperienced associate or legal assistant.

Professionalism: Richard Korb is professional, yet, down-to-earth and compassionate. Richard is not aloof or intimidating. Richard understands that each client is different and that they are often facing difficult choices at a very stressful time. Richard will listen carefully, take the time to analyze the circumstances unique to each client, communicate clearly, and help them make the best decision.

Efficiency: We keep our overhead low to save you time and money while allowing you to get the benefit of a senior attorney at your side–with the goal of minimizing stress and maximizing efficiency.

Affordability: Finally, we are very affordable—about half the cost of a lawyer of similar experience at a big firm.
