Why Choose ADZ Law, LLP
We acknowledge that American laws have predominantly benefited privileged persons in society or people who belong to the majority. Our attorneys aim to break these barriers and level the playing field by competently serving clients from diverse backgrounds. Our law office started this journey by building an empathetic team that is itself diverse in its beliefs and values.
Consequently, we have the skills and experience necessary to serve minorities and people with limited English proficiency. Additionally, our attorneys have taken the time to develop competencies for meeting the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community. We are also proud to be led, owned, and staffed by women who all have impressive qualifications and are committed to justice.
