“Taking the time to be out of the office is a large commitment for our firm but one we believe is essential for the success of the firm,” says Attorney Barra. “We want to be here to serve the needs of our clients for generations to come and with sessions such as The Anatomy of a Financially Successful Academy Law Firm, I am able to see real life examples of how our firm is on a stable track based on successful firms across the nation.
