How long have you been with Conrad Trosch and Kemmy, PA?
I joined the firm in 2007.
What do you believe are the firm’s most marked characteristics?
Without a doubt, integrity and honesty. I can wake up each morning and know that I work with great people who want to do the right thing, no matter what.
You have worked with other law firms prior to CTK and have been a paralegal for over 20 years now. What is something you believe is important for clients to know?
We are extremely focused on efficient communications with our clients. CTK adheres to a strict communication policy with our clients to ensure they get the information they need as quickly as possible.
What type of client is a great fit for CTK?
We are the perfect fit for someone looking for a law firm that they can stay with for all of their needs. You may have legal issues arise with a contractor when building your home. You or someone you know have suffered a personal injury that needs a skilled litigator. You have someone in a nursing home and there are concerns or have a friend seeking a strong divorce attorney. And of course, everyone needs a will devised to insure that their assets, large and small, go to their loved ones. We are in many ways a “lifestyle” law firm in this regard.
