Our Background
In June 1990, Ted Bayer and Andrew August decided to leave their large firm practices and use their extensive training, skills and experience to create a small, personalized but sophisticated business, real estate and related litigation law firm. Their firm has grown to eight attorneys, and Pinnacle Law Group now provides services to clients ranging from individuals to fortune 500 companies and government entities.
The foundations upon which the firm was built still command our direction today: Building a personal, trusting attorney-client relationship, always doing our very best to achieve the best possible results for our clients and always remaining mindful of the high cost of legal services. These foundational commitments have resulted in a degree of loyalty and satisfaction among our clients of which we are very proud.

Our Philosophy About Legal Fees
Even with legal industry rates continuing to climb, we are extremely sensitive to the seemingly endless (and out-of-control) rise in the cost of legal services. We believe that great lawyers can provide great legal services while being cost sensitive. We implement our philosophy through the simple device of regular communication. We seek client input before undertaking any substantial project, and we keep our clients informed of what we are doing and why we are doing it. This communication, together with written budgets and litigation plans, has been effective in eliminating the element of surprise that often leads to dissatisfaction with legal bills.
Finally we welcome and embrace alternative billing arrangements, including tasked-based fixed fees, not-to-exceed agreements, hybrid and full contingency arrangements on litigation matters. We are always open to discussing the best way to make our relationship with you a win-win.
