HISTORY
In November, 1993, the law firm of Forsberg & Umlauf, P.S. opened as a civil litigation defense firm. The firm does not aspire to be a "full service" law firm. The decision to specialize in civil litigation defense is important and strategic for two reasons: (1) Our focus allows us to develop consistent litigation management systems and trial techniques to benefit our clients with lower overhead; and (2) other firms feel more comfortable referring business or a specific case because there is little threat of losing a client who seeks more generalized services.
Our firm is committed to providing an early evaluation in each case. We establish litigation management plans with budgets, which are discussed and ratified by the client.
Forsberg & Umlauf, P.S. is not a typically-structured law firm. The pyramid concept with edicts coming from above does not fit with our shareholders' idea of an effective, efficient law practice. We are structured around the clients' needs. We have a decentralized structure which encourages input from all employees.
