I’ve often said that ‘no one can take away your integrity, but you can give it away.’ Strong ethics, and people taking pride in having strong character, makes for a strong firm.”

He added, “Our commitment to ethics is a tangible part of people’s daily lives. The firm’s Ethics Advisor program, comprised of advisors in the field, helps us ensure this focus.”
