- SDKS Law

I came to Shems Dunkiel because I wanted to practice law with talented and creative attorneys who care about the same issues I do.  By working here, I have the opportunity to serve clients with the highest standards for legal services and clients who are working to make the world a better place.  Plus, I get to bring my dog to the office.

I work here because my colleagues care about law as a profession that can make a positive contribution to our clients' lives, businesses and communities.

I feel passionate about creating a healthy and sustainable world for my children and others, and to work with businesses and groups that share that vision. Collaboration within SDRS is also a major plus - we share ideas, team up on cases, and generally complement each others' skills on many cases, large and small.

I am at SDRS because of the people I work with, the clients we serve, and the issues we tackle. Here, I have the latitude and professional support to build a practice that combines my interest in the legal and public policy issues of human services and health care with my experience in general commercial law and litigation.

At SDRS I am privileged to work with a talented team of attorneys and paraprofessionals on matters that are stimulating intellectually, but also accomplish the practical needs of our clients. Getting to understand and then share my clients' passion for their businesses or efforts to make a difference can be extremely gratifying.

SDRS is unique in the commitment of the partnership to ensuring that the firm has a positive impact on the community, and offers the opportunity for meaningful and fulfilling work. SDRS lawyers and other staff are talented and engaged, and offer clients the highest quality legal services.

Knowing that we, as a firm, share a sense of mission and a commitment to promoting community and the environment motivates me. It is exciting to see firsthand what happens when a talented, driven group of people comes together with a belief in the possibility of making a difference in the world through law.

At SDRS, I know that the work I do contributes to something I believe in, whether it's renewable energy, organic farming or free speech. I get to work with brilliant, committed, congenial people in a relaxed atmosphere, and I really do learn something new every day.

Compelling legal work, passionate co-workers, a relaxed atmosphere, and covered parking for my bike - what more could you ask for?

SDRS values a work environment that expects and nourishes an intellectual, creative and ethical practice as well as a healthy family and community life. That balance is very important to me. It is an honor to work with the smart, dedicated and passionate team at SDRS.
 

At SDRS we work with clients and on cases that positively impact the planet and its inhabitants. We "do no harm." The atmosphere is one of energy, dedication, and goodwill. We strive for excellence and have a good time doing so.

I work here because I can improve our local, national and international community by working for clients who likewise improve their communities. In addition, I am honored to work with my colleagues at SDRS who are some of the sharpest and most diverse legal thinkers.

The firm embodies the personal and professional integrity needed to keep my work life balanced with my own life. The work environment here is rich in learning, and aesthetically energetic and uplifting. There is synergy here; and there is humor. It's an unusual blend of hard work, international choices, and compatible values.
