The Firm

History
In a proud 44-year history, we’ve fostered creative, independent thinking within a collaborative culture, to ensure that outstanding things happen when the best minds work together.

Dissanayaka and Dissanayaka Law firm was founded in 1980 by Jayasena Dissanayaka and Anoma Dissanayaka, dedicated to providing advice and expertise in litigation and other matters to individual clients and others at the highest levels.

We have achieved extraordinary results following the distinctive vision of our founders - a cohesive team of lawyers intensely focused on solving our clients' most important problems. We are not, and do not strive to be, the largest law firm measured by number of offices or lawyers. Our goal has been to provide clients with the strength and capabilities of a large firm, with the personal attention and service of a smaller firm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Practice Areas

Expetise
We do everything possible to make our clients feel reassured that we are there for them. Communication is the key. We consistently keep our clients informed and updated, and we spend a lot of time learning about them, their goals and their needs. It’s a one-on-one, very personal approach that isn’t typical of many client-attorney relationships. But we don’t believe there should be a boilerplate process to working with our clients and solving their legal issues.
