Why diversity, equity and inclusion? We recognize that diversity makes us better.

At Whitfield & Eddy Law, we strive to be the right firm and the right fit for our clients. That goal extends to our employees, too. We believe hiring and retaining talented, engaged, and diverse individuals benefits our clients, strengthens our firm, and enhances our community.
