DLS designed the web site for the acupuncture office of Eric Baron in a manner very similar to our traditional, western healthcare sites. This reflects the world view of its proprietor, and his instructions to us as we built the site. It consists of high-quality images of the office, as well as detailed explanations of the practice and philosophy. Visit the site at www.eric-baron.com July 2009: Aikenhead Cipes & Supanich Gives DLS a Promotion
DLS completed the new design for the law firm of Aikenhead, Cipes & Supanich, based in Los Angeles. ACS had been a maintenance client, where our job was to take care of an older web site. Being pleased with our services, the firm asked us to design a new site from scratch, now running at www.acslaw.net. If your firm just needs help with an existing web site, we are happy to oblige. If you're pleased with our services, we are more than willing to be promoted later on. July 2009: Law Firm Blows the Whistle for Good Design
With offices in Maryland and Virginia, Kubli & Associates, P.C. is a boutique law firm that specializes in "whistleblower" cases, government and general litigation. The firm contacted DLS as via referral from another law firm whose site we recently designed. In putting together the project's design, we used a red-white-and-blue color vocabulary, softened with a second, lighter blue. At www.kubliandassociates.com May 2009: Web Revamp with Brochure for Longstanding Client
DLS designed the first web site for firm then named Friedman, Levy & Goldfarb early in the decade. As the firm grew, it became evident a revamp was needed, which we happily completed this spring, at www.friedmanlevy.com. Pursuing a two pronged approach, the firm, now expanded to Friedman, Levy, Goldfarb, Weiner and Kresman PC, commissioned DLS to design a matching brochure. This compact, 3-panel setup has become our most requested format for law firms. April 2009: Macht, Shapiro, Arato & Isserles LLP
With emphasis on intellectual property, media and entertainment practice, startup boutique Macht, Shapiro, Arato & Isserles tapped DLS for a fresh look. We handled the design of the firm's web site, designed in tandem with their logo and associated stationery pieces. At www.machtshapiro.com February 2009: Migraine Research Foundation
DLS Design has completed the design of the new web site for the Migraine Research Foundation, the only nonprofit organization dedicated solely to migraine research in the United States. The newly-reborn site features more extensive information than the client's previous web site, as well as a clean new design. The goal of the site will be to attract attention and donations to this worthy cause, and the site facilitates this by accepting donations. At www.migraineresearchfoundation.org January 2009: DC Litigators Tap DLS for Branding, New Web Site
Adams Holcomb LLP handles complex litigation and antitrust matters. When planning the launch of their firm they tapped DLS to come up with their firm look and web site. Our logo for the firm takes as its starting point a cocktail napkin sketch from one of the lawyers, then applying some basic typographic principals and rendering electronically. Our output included a full stationery set -- letterhead, envelope and business card, as well as a firm announcement, labels, notepads, etc. And of course the firm web site at www.adamsholcomb.com December 2008: Newly Minted Web Site for Mintzer
The Law Office of Kevin Mintzer, P.C. represents employees, executives, professionals and small companies in employment and commercial matters. The design office of DLS Design services small to medium-size law firms and certain outstanding solos. So when we were hired to create the web site for Mr. Mintzer's new firm, it would seem to be a perfect match. We have delivered a simple and powerful presentation with an almost scholarly feel, and detailed information on cases and capabilities. At www.mintzerfirm.com November 2008: Pleased Partners Praise Picture-Perfect Pages
DLS Design completes the new web site for Balber Pickard Maldonado & Van Der Tuin, PC, built on classic boutique law firm model. Simple bios and practice areas with very little fluff, and colors and page structures to support outstanding photography by colleague David Lubarsky. One partner says, "Outstanding website. Thank you very much for your work and for the result." Another partner says "You did a great job; it has been a pleasure working with you." At www.balberpickard.com October 2008: Peluso & Touger LLP

Click image to see larger picture. Or visit our Law Firm Marketing page for other brochures. July 2008: White Plains Firm Gets Colorful Site
DLS designed this colorful, compact web site for the law firm of Pollock & Maguire, located in White Plains. The warm color scheme and simple navigation are in deliberate contrast to the austere colors used in larger, less-personal firms. Although located in Manhattan, DLS Design services a number of clients – law firms as well as other service businesses – all over the United States. DLS clients are located in the five boroughs of New York, Westchester County, Connecticut, as well as Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Texas and beyond. See Pollock & Maguire's site at www.pollock-maguire.com June 2008: Enter, the Defenders

Under the banner "Defenders For the Professions," the firm provides legal representation for medical, legal and other professionals, national and international corporations, and insurance and healthcare companies. At www.fkbllp.com May 2008: Bright Web Site for Stern Foundation
DLS has designed a bright, clean web site for a small family foundation offering grants to teachers enabling them to more effectively teach reading, writing and spelling. The June Stern Family Foundation provides scholarships to teachers, and grants to schools, to help children with dyslexia. DLS presented a suite of logos ranging from figurative to typographic. The chosen logo consists of stylized versions of the letters j, s and f working off a common shape, and intertwined. The web site adds to our growing portfolio of educational web sites. At www.junesternfoundation.org April 2008: How the West Was Won
DLS Design broadens our geographical reach to the west coast, as we complete our re-design of the web site for Los Angeles law firm Russ August & Kabat. Handling litigation, finance, real estate and intellectual property, RAK lies along the continuum between “boutique” and “mega-firm”. DLS went counter to the blues of conventional law firm sites but kept, and rehabilitated, the firm's longstanding logo, believing that our customers don't have to sacrifice equity in a logo that has already built up recognition, especially if it can be improved. At www.raklaw.com March 2008: Connecticut nonprofit connects with DLS Design
DLS designed this comprehensive, multi-faceted web site for the Volunteer Center of Danbury. The organization connects volunteers, both individual and corporate, with projects needing people power.

Driscoll & Redlich, a law firm handling white collar defense work, wanted an artful look for their web site, and a tie-in with their location on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan -- near scenic locations such as Grand Central and the Public Library.

DLS designed the new web site for NYC-based Larry King Productions, who has been providing premium music and entertainment to private and corporate clients for decades.

DLS has completed the web site for Pino & Associates, LLP, a commercial litigation law firm specializing in insurance defense, and located in White Plains, New York. The site is a companion piece to the brochure DLS designed in February of this year. See story below. When handling multiple pieces in a firm's promotional arsenal, we can adapt design elements to the new medium for a consistent image everywhere. At www.pinolaw.com October 2007: Hoffinger Stern & Ross
Casting their net widely, HSR handles multiple practice areas: criminal and general civil litigation, trial and appellate practice, corporate law, entertainment law, real estate law, employment law, product liability defense and family law.

Simon & Partners LLP |
Gordon & Silber, PC |
DLS custom-designed these law firm brochures to the requirements of our law firm clients. For Simon & Partners the brochure opens to a spread. Gordon & Silber, a larger firm, required a 12-page book, to accommodate its range of practices and short bios of about a dozen partners. Because we designed each firm's web site, the brochures strongly match the online presence. See www.simonlawyers.com and www.gordon-silber.com
Febuary 2007: Pino Brochure
DLS designed the new firm brochure for Pino & Associates, a law firm in Westchester County, NY. Compared to more formal brochures, this is an omnibus piece with all relevant info visible on a gatefold spread. A pocket for insertions is included. In designing the graphics DLS adopted themes from the firm's web site, but improved upon their logo and color scheme. Later in the year we took the same improvements and re-designed the site itself, at www.pinolaw.com. Looking to upgrade your brochure or web site? Call us at 212-255-3464.
January 2007: Federman Steifman LLP
Federman Steifman LLP is an established law firm specializing in complex and sophisticated real estate, structured finance and corporate transactions.

Email our president at
August 2006: Slater & Beckerman, LLP
We designed this bright, catchy web site for Slater & Beckerman, LLP, a boutique firm practicing zoning law in New York City. The graphics are in the style of a famous painter of the twentieth century. To us, the painter's style always evoked a grid of city streets, a good graphical metaphor for the field of zoning law. At www.slaterbeckerman.com
April 2006: Dorsey & Whitney "Anti-Fraud" web site
DLS designed this site for Dorsey & Whitney, LLP, an international law firm with over 600 lawyers, handling corporate law and litigation.

April 2006: Gordon Mehler, LLP
And in our small-firm design practice, we completed work on a new web site for Gordon Mehler, a former federal prosecutor and Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney General.

In our recent sites we've moved away from a dark, heavy look to web interfaces using lighter colors. See the site at www.mehlerlaw.com
January 2006: The Gillen Brewer School
 |
 |
Located in New York City, The Gillen Brewer School educates young children with emotional and learning disabilities. In planning the design, DLS used mild, near-primary colors and sans serif fonts, including a childlike animation of the school's logo on the homepage. The GBS site is built to grow, with areas ready for content from a variety of departments and classes. At www.gillenbrewer.com
In March, 2006, we completed work on the school's brochure, and received the following testimonial:
"I am very pleased to enclose for your portfolio samples of our brand new brochures. They are wonderful and we cannot thank you enough for guiding us through the design process. While we know who we are and what we do, we appreciate your helping us to present our message to the public — and solidify our identity — through a brochure that is clear, concise, professional and beautifully designed. With gratitude..."

June 2005: Education Without Boundaries
 |
 |
Run by students, Education Without Boundaries is a nonprofit focusing on education. Their first mission is in Sierra Leone, a nation torn by a decade-long civil war. The group will construct an all-women's rehabilitation center in Freetown, for young women who were sexually abused during the war. The center will provide education, vocational training and micro loans. DLS designed the web site and logo on a pro-bono basis. At www.educationwithoutboundaries.net
October 2004: "Boutique" law firm didn't have to shop around
Orans, Elsen & Lupert, LLP didn't need to shop around for the design of their sharp new web site — they just called DLS Design. OEL handles both civil and white-collar criminal litigation. Our design includes photography we shot of the firm's new location. The homepage is a simple Flash animation, with a backdrop of the firm's lobby, motion-blurred to convey a sense of movement. Navigation bars on pages use Flash "movies" to produce scrolling and fading effects. www.oellaw.com
