Why a Rhino?

The rhino exemplifies Baum O’Connor Cullen Chmiel attitude and approach. Rhinos are known for being strong, tough and having thick skin – all-important traits for trial attorneys. However, what is unique about the rhino is that it does not attack unless provoked, becoming a fierce and frightening defender of its territory.

According to a legend originating from Malaysia and Burma; rhinos stomp out forest fires. We see an interesting analogy between stomping out forest fires and resolving client “fires.”

We defend our clients fiercely, but we are by nature understanding and caring. As a result, we have made some lifelong friendships among our many clients.
