Our Mission

Zu Liebe, Tereo, & Shalam Justice
To Love, Protect, & Restore Justice

Our mission statement is comprised of four languages that have significance to this firm: Swiss, Greek, Hebrew and English. Berne is a Swiss community, owing its roots and values to the Christians who fled Europe for religious persecution and settled in Berne. Greek is the language of the New Testament, where we all learned of Christ’s majestic grace and love for us. Hebrew is the language of the Old Testament, where we learned of God’s creation and powerful story of love for humanity. English is the language of the United States, the greatest nation this globe has ever known, where we are all free.

Zu Liebe “To Love” (Swiss)

Zu Liebe means To Love, meant in the sense of the Greek word “Agape,” to provide brotherly love for each other. This firm believes that its mission and purpose is to love every person with whom it comes in contact through professional, prompt, thorough, and competent legal representation.

Tereo “To Protect” (Greek)

Tereo means To Keep, To Spiritually Guard, To Observe, To Watchover, and To Preserve. This firm believes that it is our solemn duty to take seriously the trust that you place in us to protect you, your liberty, your family, your business, and your assets. We are here to act as a guardian over your dignity, well-being, and peace of mind.

Shalam “Restore” (Hebrew)

Shalam means To Be At Peace With, To Make Whole, To Receive Reward. It means replacing or providing what is needed in order to make someone or something whole and complete. In some seasons of your life, justice needs to be restored to its rightful place. We are here to restore justice when it has been violated.

Justice (English)

Justice means To Uphold What is Just, Due Rewards, and Fair Treatment, in Accordance with Law and Honor. We believe that Justice is sacred and that every person deserves justice. It is our aim to vigorously pursue the restoration of justice in your life.
