Practus, LLP
Practus was founded by John Lively and Robert Elwood to provide attorneys and clients with a better option: a practice that is friendly, fair, and flexible. For clients, that means sophisticated legal advice, knowledgeable attorneys, economics that make sense, and the predictability that fosters great relationships. For attorneys, it means breaking free from never-ending pressure to hit billable hour targets, office bureaucracy, and opaque compensation structures. Whether you're a client or an attorney, we offer a practice with a greater purpose. Many of the practice summaries, website links and individual attorney biographies on this page describe results obtained in matters handled for Practus, LLP clients. These descriptions are meant only to provide information about the activities and experience of our attorneys. Where case studies are provided, previous results are not a guarantee of similar outcomes for other clients. Each case or matter is different and is judged on its own merits.
