Since the firm opened its doors in 1970, Feldesman Tucker Leifer Fidell LLP (FTLF) has been deeply committed to improving the lives and livelihoods of our clients. We are proudly recognized by our community as an organization energized by a profound sense of mission and composed of attorneys with wide-ranging capabilities and skill sets.

A legacy of excellence and integrity.

FTLF is a boutique firm with a fierce loyalty to clients and a consistent goal of securing them the best possible future. With its origins rooted in social justice, the firm’s major practices emerged as an unlikely pairing: a national leader in federal grants, regulatory, and health care — along with a regional powerhouse family law practice with a historical legacy in the Washington, DC area.

Inspired by a genuine sense of community.

Thoughtful, practical, and resourceful, FTLF attorneys are known for their ingenuity in solving problems. But our firm is more than just legal work. We are a close-knit, unique community of compassionate, friendly, and fun-loving colleagues.
