One attorney leads each matter from the first call to the last signature. Here are their backgrounds, admissions and focus.
N · Business & contracts
Founding partner · 17 years in practice
Elena started Cardinal Point after a decade advising growing companies. She drafts contracts the way she’d want to read them: short, clear and built around what actually goes wrong.
Focus: Business formation, contracts and the sale of small businesses
E · Real estate
Partner · 14 years in practice
James handles the property side: leases, closings and the disputes that follow them. He’d rather fix a problem with a well-worded letter than a lawsuit, and usually can.
Focus: Commercial leases, purchase contracts and property disputes
S · Family law
Senior attorney · 12 years in practice
Rachel is a mediator as well as a litigator, so she knows when to settle and when to stand firm. Clients describe her as calm, direct and always reachable.

W · Estate planning & probate
Attorney · 9 years in practice
Daniel builds estate plans families can actually follow, then walks heirs through probate when the time comes. He offers evening video meetings for busy parents.
Focus: Wills, trusts, probate and special needs planning
