Name & Logo

  • The name “estel” comes from the Elvish language appearing in the Lord of the Rings. It means both “trust” and/or “hope”, depending on the context. It conveys the principle that good can come out of the difficulties of life when one strides towards the persons, relationships and things of ultimate value.

  • The Pine Tree logo represents the Evergreen. The Evergreen Tree is an image of life that continues, perseveres and thrives in the most difficult of climates; these trees do so with ease. The focus of Teddy and this law firm is the same.
