‘Our firm is providing strategic legal guidance for businesses and entrepreneurs, from small startups to Fortune 500 companies’: William M. Demlong, The Cavanagh Law Firm

Becoming a good lawyer takes skill and knowledge, but building a successful law firm takes much more. Like most businesses, success is not a linear path; it is measured in multiple different verticals. Success in a law firm is measured through endurance across the many twists and turns the industry experiences. A successful law firm is not built instantly but through years of dedication from a team of hardworking individuals.

The Cavanagh Law Firm has a similar success story. It was founded in September 1999 in Arizona with thirty-four attorneys. They have two offices in Arizona with their headquarters in Phoenix, and their second office in Sun City. Service and success are the backbone of The Cavanagh Law Firm, as they deliver the highest service and results.
