The firm was founded on a set of core values that we still strive to live by every day; namely, integrity, excellence and professionalism. These values remain as important to us now as when we began. We take pride in the long-term relationships we continue to build with both individual and corporate clients through our dedication to prioritizing responsiveness and accountability. Each of our lawyers aim to maintain a high standard of excellence in both the work we do and the results we achieve, which is reflected in our decades of success and growth in the community.


The Expertise of a Boutique Law Firm with the Resources of a Full-Service Law Firm

At Tierney Stauffer LLP, we offer expertise across a wide range of practice areas. We combine the breadth of legal services of a general practice firm, with the depth of knowledge and area-specific focus of a boutique establishment.

Many of our lawyers, and at least one from each practice group, have over three decades of experience working in their respective fields. This level of experience, combined with the wealth of knowledge that decades of practice brings, results in strong, effective and timely representation for our clients.

When legal issues intertwine and overlap across multiple areas of law, our practice groups work collaboratively to provide comprehensive counsel. This integrated approach allows for a broader consideration of the issues at hand while addressing any possible related issues in other legal areas in the future.

Further, the size of our team means that our lawyers represent a broad range of experience and seniority. However, the senior members of our legal team regularly share their expertise with our newer lawyers, allowing us to offer a consistently exceptional level of service to our clients at a variety of price points.

Personal Injury Lawyers Focused on Effective Solutions

Being injured in an accident of any kind is a traumatic experience and can be devastating for both the injured person and their loved ones. It is essential to have a strong support system as the stress of dealing with the aftermath of a serious accident can quickly become unbearable.

Tierney Stauffer LLP has a large practice group dedicated to finding comprehensive solutions for personal injury victims. We take a unique approach to personal injury law, focused on ensuring compensation that factors in the life-long needs of injured clients. While some firms are financially motivated to settle quickly, we are motivated to settle soundly. Hasty settlements often result in short-term gains at the expense of long-term security, leaving clients reliant on insufficient civil damages to manage long-term health and medical expenses.

With over 35 years of experience, our team of Personal Injury lawyers represent clients in a variety of personal injury matters.
