   Rebuilt:  2026-04-16 by Hephaestus rebuild-template

   NOTE: Base resets, container, header, footer, mobile pill nav,
         and :root design tokens live in global.css.
         Testimonials slider styles live in home.css (shared with
         homepage). This file is practice-area specific only.

   Section sequence (matches approved HTML exactly):
     1. Dark hero
     2. Trust strip
     3. Intro + sticky sidebar
     4. Why Hire — dark pillars
     5. Related matters — cream
     6. Process — dark 6 steps
     7. FAQ — cream accordion
     8. Testimonials slider (shared component, styled in home.css)
     9. Service area — cream narrow
