Where It Started

Minerva Law

To understand why Minerva Law is a different kind of law firm you need to understand the lore behind the Roman legend of Minerva.  

Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom. Minerva was also revered as the Roman goddess of justice, law, victory, and the sponsor of arts, trade, and strategy. Minerva is not a patron of violence such as Mars, but instead was known as the architect of strategic war.

For better or worse, when you are involved in legal action – it is an awful lot like war.  And strategy is the key to victory, no matter whether you are going through a divorce, a civil matter or have been arrested.  

At Minerva Law, our first priority is protecting you, and your future.  We also protect the things that matter the most to you, your financial well-being, your business, your children, and your peace of mind.

Minerva Law is a different kind of law firm.  We don’t have a big fancy office, and we don’t have a large staff.  We also don’t charge the kinds of rates the firms with fancy offices and large staffs do.  Instead, we focus on getting to know our clients and custom tailoring our legal work to our client’s needs.  You don’t need a fancy office, or a large support staff.  You need great attorneys.  

Who is Minerva Law? 

We pride ourselves on being better than our opponents.  We have superior strategies for achieving what our clients want, which is critical to obtaining the best outcome possible in any kind of case. We are critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, and highly skilled negotiators.  

At Minerva Law we use our legal wisdom and knowledge of the law to guide our clients, just as Glaucus guided Minerva in her judgments. We analyze a set of facts from all angles allowing us to gain a broader perspective.

 

We pride ourselves on taking the time to understand our clients and their needs.  We make sense of complex facts and come to sensible conclusions. Wherever and whenever possible to do so, we look for ways to settle legal disputes instead of litigate them. 

At Minerva Law when we take on your case, we become your vigilant defenders. Minerva Law will produce the results you want.  We take the time to get to know you and your legal issues and we will work tirelessly to win your case. 

What you get at Minerva Law

Glaucus, also know as the “Owl of Minerva,” is Minerva’s sacred owl. Glaucus symbolizes knowledge, wisdom, shrewdness and erudition.

 

Glaucus is a silent watchful observer that sits perched on Minerva for long periods of time taking everything in. This patient contemplation and keen observation allows Glaucus to accumulate knowledge and gain wisdom over time and experience.

 

Glaucus can turn his neck almost 300 degrees, allowing him to see things in a much wider perspective. Glaucus’ wide perspective gives him the ability to see the big picture, understand things quickly and make accurate judgments.  

Glaucus is a nocturnal bird of prey with exceptional vision and hearing. Glaucus' sharp eyes and hearing allow him to see what others cannot see and hear what others cannot hear. This remarkable ability to navigate through the darkness gives Glaucus an aura of secret knowledge and the ability to see through illusions and perceive truths others miss.
