Compton Jones Dresher was founded on the belief that win-win outcomes in the real estate, financial services and banking industries are possible where counsel understands the business and how business is done.

Our fundamental goal in serving clients is to foster the kind of collaboration that gets all parties to “Yes” — whether it’s for a commercial real estate loan, a landmark development deal, or untangling a thicket of thorny regulatory issues. It’s a proactive approach built on a straight-forward understanding of your business, your short- and long-term objectives, and the challenges you face — both in the competitive marketplace and the regulatory environment.

We don’t seek to represent everyone, just those businesses whose cultures can benefit from our approach. So if you’re looking for a closer connection between your business objectives and legal services, we welcome the opportunity to discuss your needs, and our capabilities, at your convenience.
