DWIGHT J. SCHAEFER

DWIGHT J. SCHAEFER looks like a personal-name company, and that puts it in the small-practice lane before any extra detail is even available. By our assessment, the good part of that setup is the obvious line of responsibility: one named person stands behind the work. The limit is also built in, because the name does not suggest scale, variety, or a polished public brand. In practice, this sort of company is usually spare and direct, with more emphasis on the person than on a system. Against broader alternatives, it belongs to the local and individual side of the field. It is the kind of thing people reach for when a named operator matters more than a large corporate footprint.
