Law Firms

Russ August & Kabat
Los Angeles firm handling litigation, finance, real estate and intellectual property, RAK lies along the continuum between “boutique” and “mega-firm”. DLS went counter to the blues of conventional law firm sites but kept, and rehabilitated, the firm’s longstanding logo, believing that our customers don’t have to sacrifice equity in a logo that has already built up recognition, especially if it can be improved. www.raklaw.com

Thompson Wigdor & Gilly LLP
TWG represents clients in high-profile labor and discrimination suits against major corporations in areas such as banking and mass-market retail. We designed a striking web site and regularly update its press page with new cases and victories. The web site was designed at the inception of the law firm, and it was its "single most important decision. It's the blueprint, really, for our practice." We're pleased we were chosen to design it. www.twglawyers.com

Kobre & Kim LLP
The firm represents institutional and private clients in fields such as banking and finance, communications, biotech, etc. Our design employs heavy use of Flash animation in the site's opening sequence and navigation areas to achieve a look of polish and aggresiveness. Started by two former prosecutors, Kobre & Kim has expanded rapidly to ten lawyers and a large support staff. www.kobrekim.com

Kreindler & Kreindler LLP
The leading plaintiff's firm handling high-profile airline accidents in the U.S. DLS originally designed the first web site for this firm in 1998 and has continued its maintenance ever since.

Simon & Partners, LLP
A steadily-growing litigation law firm specializing in high-profile white collar, criminal and civil litigation, Simon & Partners hired DLS to implement an "arresting" design.

The firm is based in Westport, Connecticut. DLS designed and manages the web site for this growing boutique law firm handling commercial, corporate and securities cases. www.begoshorgan.com

A boutique firm in New York City which handles criminal and fraud cases, and civil litigation. www.clayro.com

The Law Offices Of Sean O'Shea
The firm represents clients in high-profile, complex litigations and government investigations. The design of the web site needed to capture the firm's aggressive style and experience in negotiating with, and litigating against, prosecutors and other major law firms. Mr. O'Shea is a former federal prosecutor. See the site at www.oshealaw.com

Goldstein, Goldstein, Rikon and Gottlieb, P.C.

Handling highly complex eminent domain cases, they work largely by referral through other law firms. www.ggrgpc.com — see also our work on their firm brochure.

Epstein & Littwin LLP
Warmer colors, and more pictures of people were used to set a welcoming tone on this firm's web site, which concentrates on elder law, trusts & estates, and health care advocacy. A Flash animation plays on the idea that both the firm's name, and their practice area Elder Law, share the same initials, L and E. www.lawadvocacy.com
