It is said that a good name is
better than gold. Daniel Coker Horton & Bell’s founding
fathers left not only a good name, but also the legacy of an incomparable
understanding of professionalism. This legacy encompasses that
special gift of appreciating the meaning of real service to the
client, something many of today’s law firms seem not to comprehend.
Since 1946, this legacy has been nurtured and has served as a primary
curriculum in the training of our lawyers. We believe that what
makes our counsel unparalleled is our talent in truly knowing how
to serve.
The proof of how well we are honoring our legacy lies in our loyal
clientele and our reputation. Daniel Coker Horton & Bell
enters the 21st century with over 80% of its original clients.
We laid a foundation of integrity and honesty in an insurance defense
litigation practice for the first 30 years of the firm’s
life, and built on that foundation when we expanded our practice
areas in the mid-70s to accommodate our clients’ needs. We
continually demonstrate a respect for the practice of law with
a focus on providing a legal product of unmatched quality. The
firm is well-respected by trial attorneys, whether representing
plaintiffs or defendants, and by the judiciary before which we
appear. Lawyers, judges, and clients know we will always be honest
and well prepared, regardless of the task in front of us.
An important part of nurturing our legacy lies in recruiting the
finest young attorneys and in teaching them the virtues of hard
work and selfless service learned directly from our founders. Our
attorneys strive to be as good at practicing law as the founders
were, and they enjoy the benefit of the goodwill and reputation
for excellence built by their predecessors. Daniel Coker Horton & Bell
carries national name recognition and opens doors. There is an
atmosphere of fellowship between the firm’s partners, and
highly experienced senior attorneys are called to mentor the attorneys
under them.
It all adds up to a firm that is both experienced and effective,
a firm proud of its reputation, but one that will never rest on
it. |
