Testimonies

“I think it’s fair to say that the settlement is historic, and we have for it the expectations and hopes that you do. 

I want to add to what I know you’ve heard from other colleagues: your opinion and work was illuminating, principled, and necessary.  It made a huge difference for him, for the case throughout discovery and court decisions, and for us as we prepared for trial.  We and our client put our trust in you, and that trust was completely justified.  We are so grateful”.
