Why Choose Us?

Here are just a few reasons why should you hire us and not some other firm:

  1. Open Communication

    When you hire Osborne you get to speak to and communicate with your attorney. We don't avoid your calls or pass you off to a paralegal or assistant

  2. Cost Effective

    Legal battles can be very expensive. We always try to work toward solutions that are cost effective for you. We look for resolutions that make sense for our clients, rather than fighting just for the sake of argument. That said, we won't back down from a fight! We will not hesitate to go to battle for you, when it is necessary.

  3. Experienced Atorneys

    If the fight is on, we have more than 40 years of combined trial experience. Our attorneys have tried cases in many different arenas ranging from district court, circuit court, federal court and the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals. Our attorneys have both had success at the trial court level as well as on appeal.

  4. Relatable Approach

    We are laid back and friendly attorneys. We don't wear our "$100" suits unless we are in court. That's not of a lack of respect but rather to make our clients feel more comfortable around us and in our office. Hiring a lawyer can be an intimidating process. We want you to be comfortable around us and not intimidated by us.

  5. Rate Transparency

    Our rates are reasonable and we don't overbill for unnecessary work.

  6. Last, But Not Least

    We have really good coffee!
