(Main Office)

FMHD was founded in 1995 by four litigation partners from a large regional law firm, and has grown steadily by focusing on commercial litigation for businesses and individuals nationwide. We also handle constitutional and public interest litigation, employment matters, and personal injury litigation for plaintiffs and defendants, and we have several substantial healthcare clients for whom we do litigation and business counseling.

We are dedicated to providing the comprehensive abilities of a large firm, while ensuring the personal responsiveness and economical value generally available only in a small firm. We are experienced and practical. We are aggressive and hard-working. And we strive to be easy to work with, direct and thoroughly honest. We have established efficient billing practices and unlike many firms in the area, we account for disbursements and other charges without any mark-ups to our clients.
