core principals

FURMAN KORNFELD & BRENNAN LLP is a law firm committed to integrity, outstanding professionalism and dedication to every matter we handle, and for every client we represent. FKB’s objective is to practice law to the highest ethical standards, and promote a collegial law firm environment based upon mutual trust, respect and desire for excellence. These principles are a pledge to ourselves and to the clients we faithfully serve.

  • WE ARE TRIAL LAWYERS. At FKB we look at every matter from a trial lawyer’s perspective. That means considering how all the facts will play before the jury, and how to best advocate our client’s position in order to achieve the desired result. Our method is to look ahead to the “end game” from the start, and use our trial experience to put together the factual investigation, expert analysis and arguments necessary to prevail.

  • WE ARE CLIENT ADVISORS. We consider ourselves partners with our clients, and we draw upon our experience and confidence to advise our clients through difficult legal situations. At FKB, we believe that our clients need and deserve our objective advice, and we view it as our duty to assist our clients to make informed decisions.

  • WE UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS OF OUR CLIENTS. Our experience in defending professionals, healthcare institutions and insurance companies has helped us understand and appreciate the business needs of our clients. At FKB, we apply this acquired knowledge in our advice, recommendations and reports to our clients, as we help guide them through legal issues. FKB lawyers have experience in many diverse fields, and this helps us give insightful and knowledgeable advice to our clients.

  • WE TREAT ANY CLIENT INQUIRY AS A PRIORITY. At FKB, we understand that people contact us for a reason because they can rely on us to provide the information that they are looking for quickly, efficiently and thoughtfully. Responsiveness is a hallmark quality at FKB, and we are committed to being a law firm that our clients can rely upon.

  • WE BELIEVE IN COST EFFECTIVE RESOLUTIONS. We understand the cost and expense of litigation, and we look for ways to partner with our clients to find the most cost-efficient manner to resolve the matter. At FKB, we always seek to tailor our litigation and legal efforts to the issues at hand, and to achieve maximum results.

  • WE ARE LEADERS IN OUR FIELDS. At FKB, we are passionate about the work that we do, and are proud to be at the forefront of our respective practice areas. We lecture frequently, and write articles and comments, on a wide variety of legal topics.

  • WE NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE ADVERSARY. We never take good results for granted. Simply showing up is not how to win- it takes preparation, planning, and execution to the get the best result for our clients. Those who are overconfident and underestimate their adversaries do a disservice to their clients. At FKB, we take nothing for granted- we make every effort to understand the situation our client is facing, and take the steps to achieve the best outcome.

  • WE ARE ALWAYS CURRENT WITH CHANGES IN LAW AND TECHNOLOGY. The law is constantly changing, and at FKB we take pride in our ability to be in the forefront on changes in the law, and in using the most advanced technology to better serve our clients.

  • WE ARE EFFICIENT PROBLEM SOLVERS. We understand that our most important job is to assist with, and resolve our clients’ problem. At FKB, we recognize and understand the fact that trial and litigation is only one way to resolve a problem- if a situation calls for negotiation, mediation or confidential discussions, we have the experience and knowledge to assist and advise our clients on how to best resolve the matter.

  • WE VALUE OUR CLIENTS AND WANT TO PRESERVE AND GROW EXISTING CLIENT RELATIONSHIPS. At FKB, we are interested in long-term relationships with our clients. We know that our reputation is built on a solid foundation, and we take pride in being a law firm that our clients know they can depend on now and in the future.

  • WE BELIEVE GOOD RESULTS ARE THE PRODUCT OF HARD WORK. In order to get the best results, there is no substitute for careful preparation, dedication to our client’s cause, and skillful execution. There are no short cuts when it comes to delivering excellence, and that is what we expect from ourselves. At FKB, it is a cornerstone principle that we work hard for our clients on every matter. Period.

  • WE FOSTER A COLLEGIAL AND SUPPORTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENT. At FKB, the founding partners all started their careers as NYC prosecutors in some of the finest District Attorney’s Offices in the nation. As young lawyers, we learned the importance of a supportive and collegial work environment, where all the lawyers and staff are enthusiastically committed to providing the best legal services to their clients. We believe that it is essential for all lawyers in a law firm to know they have the support of the Firm, and that we are all dedicated to providing our clients with the finest legal services available.
