“Earning the trust of high net worth clients certainly doesn’t happen overnight,” says Lee D. Hoffman, chair of Pullman & Comley. “For the Family Law and Trusts and Estates practices, and Campbell and Kelly individually, this recognition exemplifies the firm’s commitment and skill in handling sophisticated matters that are of great importance to our individual and family clients.”
