Lady Justice is often depicted like the photo at the top of this page: with a balance in her left hand and a double-edged sword in her right. The balance is said to measure the strength of a case's support and opposition, and the sword is a symbol for the power of Reason and Justice, which may be wielded for or against any party (ideally) based upon an impartial consideration of the balance. At Skyline Law Group, we strive to tip the scales of Justice in your favor by wielding our own sword of skill and persuasion.
