Does Broden & Mickelsen, LLP use associates?

Many “criminal” boutiques use associates (younger and often inexperienced attorneys) to help prepare cases for trial, review discovery, draft motions and/or draft briefs on appeal. Many times you think you are hiring an attorney only to find out you wind up dealing mostly with the attorney’s associate. Sometimes you will be told that the firm needs to hire other attorneys to help on search and seizure issues or sentencing issues and, in fact, Broden & Mickelsen, LLP has frequently been hired to assist other prominent lawyers on these matters.

At Broden & Mickelsen, LLP, we do not use associate or farm out your work to other attorneys. You will always deal directly with one of the partners and, many times, both partners will be involved in your case. It is very important that, before hiring an attorney, you get assurances as to whether the attorney you think about hiring will use associates on your case.
