What People Say

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

What Makes Us Different

OakBridge Law Group was founded on the principle that when client and attorney incentives are aligned, everyone wins. Prior to forming OakBridge Law Group, each of our attorneys practiced with traditional defense firms seeing firsthand how the “one size fits all” billable hour model generated unpredictable fees and unnecessary costs for clients.

Our job is to create certainty and savings for our clients. OakBridge Law Group rethinks the traditional model by tailoring fee structures to each client resulting in significant client savings while still providing unparalleled legal representation. The proof is in the numbers – in just a year, we managed to save one of our clients (a long-term care provider) nearly 50% on their legal fees.
