Our palette is not decoration but a design of perception. It translates into color the two impressions a client should feel at first sight — trust and expertise.

Greeting
행정 문제는 단순히 서류를 작성하고 절차를 밟는 일만은 아닙니다. 그 안에는 누군가의 생계, 체류, 권리, 가족, 사업, 그리고 앞으로의 삶이 함께 담겨 있습니다.
AI can now organize large amounts of information quickly, supporting Logos — the domain of reasoned judgment. But someone facing an administrative matter needs more than information. They need the reassurance of being understood, and the trust that comes from having someone walk through an unfamiliar process with them.
ETHOS Administrative Attorney Office is built on the three elements of persuasion described by Aristotle — Logos, Pathos, and Ethos — listening carefully to each client's situation and working together toward the most realistic path forward.
Reason in Process. Empathy for People. Trust in Every Step.

Navy — Trust & Competence
In color-perception research, blue hues score highest among colors for perceived competence and trust — precisely the first impression an administrative and legal practice must convey.
Labrecque & Milne, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, 2012
Gold — Restrained Expertise
Across cultures, gold reads as a signal of premium quality, dignity, and professionalism. We use it sparingly — only for accents and dividers — for stature, not flash.
Aslam, Journal of Marketing Communications, 2006
Cream — Editorial Gravitas
Instead of pure white, a newsprint-toned cream reduces glare over long reading and leaves the composed impression of journalism that records and reviews.
Litigation (attorneys), registry filings (judicial scriveners), tax filings (tax accountants), and labor dispute representation (labor attorneys) are outside administrative attorney work. If your matter falls into one of these areas, we will refer you to an appropriate specialist after review.
