Who We Are

 

We are attorneys who are also passionate about politics.  For us, politics is not an exercise in partisan arguments; it's a quest for deeper insight about governments, societies, communities and humans.

​

As a young man traveling back to Philadelphia after spending several years in London, Benjamin Franklin jotted down the following four rules to abide by as part of his "Plan for Future Conduct":

​

- It is necessary for me to be extremely frugal for some time, till I have paid what I owe.
 

- To endeavor to speak truth in every instance; to give nobody expectations that are not likely to be answered, but aim at sincerity in every word and action — the most amiable excellence in a rational being.
 

 -To apply myself industriously to whatever business I take in hand, and not divert my mind from my business by any foolish project of suddenly growing rich; for industry and patience are the surest means of plenty.
 

- I resolve to speak ill of no man whatever.

​

 

These rules give us a sense for the type of person Franklin was, his crisp writing and the values he held, and continue to be relevant for us today.
