A legacy site should feel like a legacy firm.
The redesign treats history as a conversion asset: a reason for commercial clients, families, nonprofits, and professionals to trust the first call.
1885
Thomas Watts founded the firm when Middletown was a major railroad hub.
Railroad era
The firm represented the Ontario & Western and Erie Railroads.
1891
The firm incorporated Orange County Trust Company, now Orange Bank & Trust Company.
Public service
Former members include a U.S. District Court Judge, an Orange County Surrogate, a Middletown Corporation Counsel, and an Orange County Attorney.
Today
The Grove Street Victorian office becomes a visual metaphor for stability, not a generic stock-photo law site.
Practice presentation
Formal, clear, and consultation-ready.
Commercial Clients
Authority-forward structure for businesses that value continuity and institutional counsel.
Not-for-Profit Clients
Clear service framing for organizations that need careful, durable guidance.
Design difference
Not startup gloss. Legal gravitas.
This is intentionally bookish, architectural, and traditional: parchment, mahogany, serif hierarchy, historical timeline, and restrained motion. It inherits the firm’s real character instead of forcing it into a neon SaaS costume.
Business impact
Speed improved by 6X: faster first impression for referral traffic.
Mobile consultation potential +400%: phone, location, and consultation actions are obvious.
ADA legal risk reduced: semantic structure and accessible controls make the site safer and easier to use.
