President's Message

A message from John C. Buchanan, Esq., President

Primerus was created in 1992 to help restore honor and dignity to the legal profession; and to help rebuild the public's trust in lawyers and the judicial system. It has been our mission from the beginning to seek out, accept, and retain only the best firms for membership. In doing so, the Primerus name has become synonymous with high quality legal services.

Each firm is screened to ensure its commitment to excellence as embodied in the Six Pillars including integrity, excellent work product, and reasonable fees. That means you can choose a Primerus attorney with confidence.

With over 1,500 lawyers, Primerus is the size of some of the country's largest law firms. Our lawyers have depth of knowledge and expertise in hundreds of specialties and subspecialties. But Primerus law firms are completely independent and autonomous. And they tend to be small or medium-size with less than 50 lawyers. The result is more personalized attention, excellent communications and enduring relationships. Finding these excellent firms located all across the country used to be difficult. Not any more. Now you have Primerus working for you.
