Candour
We tell clients the truth about their case, including the parts they would rather not hear.
Since MCMLXII
About the firm
Sixty years of practice, built on two ideas: tell the client the truth, and prepare every case for trial.
Plate II — Our first courthouseOur history
A small firm that grew carefully.
Lexmora began with two lawyers, one secretary and a borrowed typewriter. We have grown since, but slowly and on purpose: every partner is promoted from within or joins because a client asked us to bring them in.
Today the firm serves individuals, family businesses and national companies from offices in Boston, Hartford and Providence.

What we stand on.
Preparation
Every matter is prepared as if it will be tried. That is how good settlements are made.
Service
Four thousand pro bono hours a year, because access to counsel should not depend on means.
My grandfather used to say a law firm is only as good as the letter it sends when the news is bad. We still write those letters by hand.
