Barton LLP, a law firm with offices in New York, California, Tennessee, and Virginia is comprised of an elite team of former partners of “Big Law” who have joined together to create a progressive law firm. To us, legal services are business services, and our attorneys and staff are business-people serving business clients to advance their business goals.

Our mission is to provide our sophisticated corporate, financial services, investment fund and entrepreneurial clients with the highest quality legal services delivered in an effective and efficient manner. We accomplish this because we are an organization that does not follow the traditional multi-layered and leveraged law firm model. We believe that a better product, value and client experience is achieved by providing our clients with highly skilled senior attorneys who work directly on their matters with appropriate support from a strong, but lean team of associate attorneys and staff.

We are committed to developing long-term relationships by partnering with our clients so that we thoroughly understand their organizations, objectives and long-term goals. We offer in-house training programs to our clients and take a proactive approach to reviewing clients’ business practices, contracts and relationships to avoid or reduce the incidents of litigation and risk whenever possible.

Our firm structure and experience allows us to offer a wide array of alternative fee arrangements. We understand that hourly billing is frequently not in our client’s best interest, nor does it necessarily represent the value of our services. Our clients provide their goods and services in a competitive marketplace, and yet they rarely, if ever, use an hourly based pricing model. We know that clients have to manage their resources and create efficiencies to stay within budget – and they want lawyers who are able to do the same.

The last few decades have seen dramatic changes in our laws and in our courts. In some respects, these changes have brought us a justice system that is increasingly responsive to the interests of everyone. In other respects, these changes have left us with a system that is complex, expensive, and can lead to unfair results.

Managing the complexity of litigation, controlling expenses, and ensuring fair results require the services of a law firm widely known for excellence in service, consistency in results and integrity in the way it renders legal services. These three principles have been the foundation of our success since we were established.

Excellence. At Crivello, Nichols, and Hall, S.C. our clients get more than a promise when they need representation in the courtroom. They get solid performance from a law firm whose members have successfully represented industry, government, insurance companies and individuals for over 60 years. They also receive the services of lawyers with state-of-the-art facilities and who are uniformly recognized by their peers and the judiciary as leaders in the profession.

Consistency. No amount of experience, or even superior ability, is sufficient if the performance of an attorney or law firm is inconsistent. We understand that consistency is the basis for most long-term business relationships. Therefore, whether our clients are coming to us for the first or fiftieth time, they are provided the same level of dedication and performance. Our consistency is evidenced by the growing list of corporate and business clients who have been with us for two, three and even four decades.

Integrity. The integrity of a law firm is the thread that ties together all aspects of the relationship between client and lawyer. Successful legal representation is based as much on the integrity with which the legal services are rendered as on the proficiency of the attorney. Strict adherence to this belief has earned Crivello, Nichols, and Hall, S.C. its reputation as a law firm that deals honestly and fairly with clients, peers and the judiciary.

National Services. Over the years, in response to the needs of our clientele, our firm began to assume a national character. Today, Crivello, Nichols, and Hall manages and directly provides legal services in almost every State in the United States.

Our founding members worked together for years at one of the largest law firms in Dallas, representing Fortune 500 companies and other high-profile clients in virtually every legal matter under the sun. Together, we felt that we had something new to offer – a different way of doing things. We wanted to find a way to take our big-firm experience and combine it with a personal approach that our clients simply wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. Once we realized that, the next step was to open our own firm together.

How is our approach different?

First, we’re a part of your team. Even within a single practice, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to the law. So, before doing anything else, we work with you to create a set of goals that will form the foundation of our legal strategy. From there, we’re with you through every step of the process. We understand any legal dispute can be stressful and know that effective communication can go a long way toward allaying that. You’ll have questions, and we’ll be there to answer them. Simply put, you’ll be at the center of everything we do.

Second, our team of experienced attorneys prides itself on being more collaborative than most. When we take on a client, you’re not just getting a single lawyer’s experience and insight but the entire firm’s when it’s needed. Not a pile-on, with layers of lawyers, but a smart, efficient approach that means better solutions for you. You’re a part of the family now, so get used to the attention.

We believe that people like working with people they like, and that’s why we put personal service at the forefront of every client relationship. We get to know our clients, talk about family and vacations, and share an occasional bottle of wine. Connections are important to us.

We’re glad you found us, and we know that once you learn a little more about our attorneys and what we can do for you, you’re going to like working with us.

Our attorneys have experience representing a broad spectrum of clients, ranging from large restaurant chains to independent restaurants, from multi-state retail chains to construction contractors and suppliers, from large hospital systems to privately-held physicians’ offices, and from statewide agencies to local governments. We have developed and revised policies for our clients, helped them audit their employment practices, and advised them on how to conduct internal investigations. We have advised our clients on a wide range of matters involving hiring, firing and disciplining employees, executive contracts and severance agreements, disability accommodation, leave management, fitness-for-duty testing, wage-hour compliance, diversity goals, and harassment training. Our familiarity with these issues gives us a strong foundation on which to build solid advice for our clients.

Our attorneys have experience litigating cases in courts across Florida and throughout many other states. Employment cases are often fought in federal court, and our lawyers are intimately familiar with the requirements and expectations of federal-court litigation. In recent years, though, plaintiffs’ lawyers have been making more of an effort to tailor their claims to avoid exposure to a federal forum. When they do, we are equally willing and able to deal with litigation in state-court forums. Although we are proud of our Tampa roots, our geographic footprint spreads far wider. The firm’s lawyers often handle litigation for firm clients in state and federal courts across the country, and have been specially admitted to handle cases in a diverse array of forums ranging from Boston, Massachusetts to Detroit, Michigan to Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Our clients all have the same basic goal: they want to be relieved of the distractions and burdens of litigation in a timely and cost-effective manner. But when you move beyond that simple goal, there are many other considerations that can affect the choices that must be made in litigation. For some clients, cost or publicity considerations may be paramount. For others, defending a particular exemption decision or a particular management freedom may take priority. We make it our business to take those considerations into account and litigate the case the way it needs to be litigated for our client. We strongly believe in early case analysis. Whether the matter is a new EEO charge or a lawsuit that has just been served, we strive to provide our clients with an assessment early in the process of how we assess and plan to deal with the key factors that may affect the result. Those may include, among others: the laws applicable to the case; how our facts fit within those laws; the strengths and weaknesses of our witnesses; the nature of the forum in which it will be heard; the leanings of the judge or other decision-maker; the skill and tendencies of opposing counsel; the goals of the opposing party; the likely intensity/complexity of the litigation; the amount at risk; the organizational implications of settlement versus litigation; and any relevant public-relations concerns. Of course, the fundamentals of any strategy start with making sure that the case is ready for trial. The reality of litigation is that there will be times when even a well-founded, well-argued motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment will not succeed. When that happens, being prepared to take the case to trial is essential to protecting our clients’ rights.

Our clients hire us because of our reputation. We recognize this is our stock in trade, and we do our best to maintain a reputation for skill and professionalism in every court in which we appear. When we ask judges to rule in our clients’ favor, we need those judges to trust that we are accurately presenting the law and the facts and that our word can be relied upon. Our goal is always to meet and exceed judicial expectations. We want our work to be well-written, well-researched, and fundamentally sound in all respects. Our clients have put their heart and soul into building the reputation of their businesses, and if we are going to serve as their representatives in a court of law, we want our representation of them to live up to those same expectations. Part of professionalism is competence to adjust to the changing technological environment. We recognize that technology has many benefits, but it also carries risks. We are committed to maintaining our technology and our systems in a manner that provides full security for our clients’ communications and the documents they share with us. We will ensure that any vendors who work on our systems are reliable and committed to a high level of security.

Serving Employers with Dedication and Integrity
The attorneys of Kamer Zucker Abbott are dedicated to providing exceptional legal services to employers in the areas of labor and employment law. The Firm is listed in the Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers and is named in America's Leading Business Lawyers: The Client Guide (Chambers USA, 2014) as a leading Nevada law firm in the area of labor and employment law defense.

As labor and employment law issues continue to become more complex, Kamer Zucker Abbott remains at the forefront, providing clients with the information, training and advice needed to maintain productive workplaces. The firm's attorneys strive to serve their clients in a personal and responsive manner to meet each client's distinctive needs.

Arming Employers with Proactive Measures
The Firm's attorneys strongly believe that employers are best served through the prevention of employment claims and litigation. As such, Kamer Zucker Abbott provides consultation and training on preventing and remedying harassment; proper methods for investigating workplace issues; discipline of employees; union avoidance; collective bargaining; contract administration; creation and maintenance of effective human resources policies; and compliance with federal employment and civil rights statutes, including Nevada's somewhat unique employment laws. The Firm also provides its clients with up-to-date information on legal issues and new developments through its website, its client-exclusive e-mail services, and labor and employment law seminars.

Defending Employers with Expertise and Authority
While focused on helping its clients avoid the minefields of modern day litigation, Kamer Zucker Abbott also maintains a very successful litigation and appellate practice. Each client's defense is driven solely by the client's individual goals, ranging from quickly disposing of claims to establishing important legal precedent. Some of the firm's more notable cases are Clark County School District v. Breeden, 532 U.S. 268 (2001), a Title VII sexual harassment and retaliation case decided by a unanimous United States Supreme Court, Desert Palace, Inc., 336. N.L.R.B. 271 (2001), a National Labor Relations Act case upholding an employer's right to require confidentiality during sensitive internal investigations, and Nevada Employment Security Department v. Holmes, 112 Nev. 275 (1996), upholding before the Nevada Supreme Court the right of employers to conduct drug testing through hair samples and issue discipline for illegal drug use.

Comprehensive Representation
Kamer Zucker Abbott represents clients before the United States Supreme Court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, the Nevada Supreme Court, the Eighth Judicial District Court for Clark County, Nevada, as well as the National Labor Relations Board, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor - Wage and Hour Division, the Office of Chief Hearing Administrative Officer of the U.S. Department of Justice, the Nevada State Labor Commission, the Nevada Equal Rights Commission, the State of Nevada Local Government Employee-Management Relations Board, and the Nevada Employment Security Division.
