Our Philosophy
Justice Through Wisdom
At Ascher & Denton, we believe legal representation should make things better, not worse. This simple principle guides everything we do. We formed our firm with clear goals in mind: to help our clients navigate legal challenges while minimizing both financial and emotional costs.
The Power of Respect
In law, as in life, how we treat each other matters. We believe in the fundamental importance of respect, compassion, and honest communication. When someone acts out of anger or hurt, our response must be measured and wise. Quick, aggressive reactions might feel satisfying in the moment, but they rarely serve anyone's long-term interests.
​
Think of it as a law of physics applied to legal disputes: every action brings an equal and opposite reaction. That's why we maintain professional courtesy with opposing counsel and parties, building and preserving our excellent reputation in the legal community. This approach isn't just about being nice—it's about being effective.
The Art of Resolution
Most of our clients' matters never reach a judge's docket. Instead, we work diligently to craft reasonable solutions through skilled negotiation. After all, when you leave your decisions in someone else's hands—even those of a knowledgeable judicial officer—you risk outcomes that satisfy no one. We prefer investing our energy in finding solutions that work for our clients, avoiding unnecessary court hearings and formal procedures whenever possible.
​
True Partnership
Legal representation works best as a genuine collaboration. We work as a team with our clients, combining our legal expertise with your deep understanding of your life situation. This partnership allows us to focus on what truly matters: helping people move forward toward a better future.
​
When you do what is right to the best of your ability, you don't need to waste resources protecting the lawyer instead of serving the client. While we may not achieve perfection, we strive for it continuously. Our goal is to be worthy of trust—from our clients, from opposing parties, and from their attorneys. This trust helps us achieve better results for everyone involved.
​
A Higher Purpose
​
As officers of the court and agents of the judicial system, we see trustworthiness as essential to our role. Our approach isn't just about winning cases—it's about serving justice and making our legal system work as it should.
​
At Ascher & Denton, we believe that doing right and doing smart aren't just ideals—they're the proven path to effective legal representation.
