Mission

Becket More was founded on the fundamental “first principle” that Truth is the Person formed by the double helix of Justice and Mercy; and that He is the absolute, almighty, eternal, Trinitarian, and unchanging God.  Not only that, but Truth can (and should) be known.  This foundational principle is the cornerstone of the firm—and should be the cornerstone of any business or law practice—as laws that are unmoored from any absolute moral truth are but transient debris on the rising tide of error.

The pursuit of Truth for the sake of Justice, and happiness for the sake of its clients, is the noble mission of Becket More, and the meet and measure of its success.  Any ostensible divergence or division between the two interests—Truth and client—is abnegated by Mercy.  This is especially true with criminal defendants.

Chief among them is the undertaking to help those in need to navigate a system that is highly complex and nuanced, even perilous at times.  Unlike most attorneys and firms who identify clients based on a number and billing code, Becket More prides itself on establishing relationships and prizes the human over the business, the substantive over the process.

From this foundational principle, Becket More aspires, in the rich jurisprudential tradition of the Judeo-Christian heritage, to undertake what no other firm has dared—to return to right order and promote justice in its truest sense.

Vision

Becket More aspires to live up to the high calling of its namesakes, providing the highest quality of legal and professional services to its clients without sacrificing honor and integrity, or otherwise compromising conscience.  It is the vision of the firm to radically redefine the way business and law are practiced—from the high, stuffy offices of “Big Law” populated by pack of proverbial he-wolves chasing a bonus around a 365-yard track with the sole and blind ambition to achieve some arbitrary billable hours quota; from the seedy “street lawyers” who spend their days chasing ambulances only to add insult to injury and salt to the wounds of their clients by taking an inordinate percentage of a settlement or jury award—to the estimable intellectuals who, though curious, believe wholeheartedly in the great laws of truth, the right discharge of duty, accountability to God, the ultimate triumph of the right, and the overthrow of wrong…even if fighting the good fight it leads to bodily or professional death.

In short,

it is the aspiration of Becket More to inspire and promote a paradigm shift in modern jurisprudence: to tether the titanic of the Western legal system back to an absolute, objective, moral Truth.
