Haines & Associates is a Philadelphia boutique litigation firm uniquely positioned to meet the needs of both individuals and businesses in the tri-state area. The firm's areas of practice include commercial, professional negligence, intellectual property, and personal injury litigation. Because we have remained small, we are able to bypass much of the bureaucracy typical in larger firms so that we can creatively tailor our services to the individual needs and objectives of our clients. Members of our team meet with each client at the outset of the litigation process to devise a strategic litigation plan to meet those individual needs and objectives.   Haines & Associates was founded by nationally recognized litigator Clifford Haines, who has consistently been voted by his peers to be one of the top 100 Pennsylvania lawyers. A leader in the legal community, Mr. Haines is the President of the Pennsylvania Bar Association, a past Chancellor of the 13,000 member Philadelphia Bar Association, and a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
