Scheef & Stone, L.L.P firmly believes being a diverse workplace that reflects the community in which we live and work makes us a better law firm. Diversity brings a broader perspective to the problems confronting our clients, leads to more effective resolutions, and enriches our law practice, our careers, and our overall workplace enviornment. Indeed, at every stage of human endeavor, organizations require a diversity of human skill, experience and understanding that reflects the community in which we live and that provides the resources to respond to the unexpected and new. Our commitment to a diverse workplace helps us to acquire and develop those resources internally, and to use them to meet or exceed our clients' expectations. Accordingly, it is our goal to foster a firm-wide culture that promotes and facilitates diversity. To further that end, Scheef & Stone recruits and is actively recruiting attorneys who are diverse in every sense of the word. Not only do we support the professional careers of women, as well as racial and ethnic minorities, but our clients receive the benefit of the varying perspectives and life experiences that individuals with other types of diverse background bring to our firm.

We are not merely a collection of attorneys. Instead, we strive to maintain a collegial, balanced and team-oriented practice and workplace. We take pride in our professional reputation as fine attorneys, many being industry recognized as Super Lawyers ® and AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell. All of our attorneys are happy to share their knowledge and experience with new attorneys, law school interns and aspiring lawyers. Along with being outstanding attorneys, we are comprised of active members of various faith communities, parents, cyclists, fly-fishers, foodies, golfers, patrons of the arts, photographers, Scout leaders, skiers, soccer coaches, and local volunteers. Some of us are former clerks for judges and justices in state and federal courts. Before becoming lawyers, some of us were accountants, chefs, engineers, or members of the United States Armed Forces. We are alumni of fifteen law schools from eight different states.
