"To fight the stereotype, which are not, we acknowledge them. In fact, our advertising tells people, with a smile, that we know what they think of lawyers but that we would like them to think differently of us," says managing partner, Andy McPherson.

"The campaign gives us a humanity and a personality that ultimately makes the firm approachable, accessible and affordable. Just as we promise," McPherson adds.
