About us

Counsel that reads like counsel, not like paperwork.

Fifteen years of corporate, property, family and criminal work — and one rule that has never moved: you always know where your matter stands.

Docket

Who we are

A firm built around the client sitting across the table.

Docket opened in 2010 with three attorneys and one rule: a client should never have to guess where their matter stands. Fifteen years later the firm covers corporate, property, family and criminal work across four practice groups — and the rule has not moved.

We take the matters we can genuinely move, and we say so plainly when a matter belongs somewhere else. That is why most of our work arrives by referral from clients we have already finished with, and from the firms we sent the rest to.

How we work

Four standards, held without exception.

You get it in writing

Scope, fees and the realistic range of outcomes are written down before any work begins. Nothing about the cost of your matter should ever arrive as a surprise.

A partner stays on the matter

The attorney who takes your first call is the attorney who argues it. Work is delegated where that saves you money, never where it costs you continuity.

You hear from us first

Every development reaches you before it reaches anyone else, in language that does not need a second phone call to decode.

We will tell you to stop

If settling serves you better than winning, we say so — even when the fee for saying so is smaller than the fee for carrying on.
