With a natural curiosity and genuine interest in understanding each client’s business and goals, Mr. Varrin enjoys the two –way communications and client “partnership’ essential to effective representation. His expectation is to provide each client with the on-going specific business knowledge and attention of in-house counsel, which is not normally available to small to mid-size companies, in co-ordination with the resources that an outside firm can provide.
Business Disputes
Kotin, Crabtree & Strong, LLP offers the full range of services essential to the success of a small to mid-sized, growth-oriented business, including some not generally available outside of the largest law firms. Our business lawyers are experienced in all stages of business development, from initial formation and entity selection through commercial or venture capital financing, to late-stage realization of value through sale or positioning for the public offering process.

Instead, we treat each personal injury matter with the same emphasis on thorough preparation, personal involvement of senior attorneys, and commitment of resources that we try to bring to all cases in our practice. Many of our clients are referred to us by other attorneys, who know that we are the attorneys within the profession who will achieve the best possible results for clients they refer to us.
