In the event our clients require legal services in other states, Bivins & Hemenway, P.A. can assist you. Our firm is a member of Primerus, an international alliance of top-rated, independent law firms. Every member of Primerus is pre-screened and audited annually for their commitment to excellence in six key areas, including integrity, civility, reasonable fees, excellent work product, community service, and continuing legal education. The Primerus network includes approximately 100 independent business and commercial litigation law firms of proven commitment and quality in over 75 cities in 30 states and Ontario, Canada. As a member of this network, Bivins & Hemenway, P.A., is uniquely positioned to refer you to, or co-counsel with, top quality law firms across the nation to satisfy your legal needs where ever they may arise.

Before a firm may display the Primerus seal of quality, the firm must have achieved and must maintain the maximum AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the peer review rating source that lawyers use to find other lawyers. Additionally, every candidate for membership in Primerus must submit to a rigorous evaluation which includes candid assessments from judges, fellow attorneys, current and former clients, bar associations, and malpractice insurance carriers. Once admitted to Primerus, each firm is audited annually to ensure that they continue to be the among the nations best law firms, year after year.

Primerus law firms offer expertise in hundreds of practice areas. When you need business or personal counsel for a particular legal concern or in an unfamiliar location, the Primerus alliance of independent, top-rated law firms gives you access to experienced lawyers you can trust with the knowledge you need.

While by design individual Primerus law firms are small, together Primerus firms can be looked upon as one of the nation's largest law firms with scores of specialties, and offices continent-wide. For corporate clients, this nationwide scope simplifies the process of finding great lawyers in multiple jurisdictions. Because of their knowledge of the personal and professional qualifications of fellow members, Primerus attorneys are able to refer clients to other Primerus attorneys with confidence. No referral fees are involved; referrals are simply an added benefit of doing business with a Primerus law firm.

Working with independent small or medium-size firms offers distinct advantages. These include the ongoing access to senior partners offering depth of knowledge and years of experience, as well as commitment to excellence, reasonable fees, and responsive service.
