Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'This is an extraordinary group of lawyers. They are really sharp and very responsive. And they take no prisoners -- we are usually out of a lawsuit shorty after it commences. They are consistently impressive.'
  • These folks know their subject matter -- both substantively and procedurally. They are efficient. They do not suffer from timidity. If you insist you're in the right, they will give you a reality check and then throw themselves headlong into the battle. The approach works.'
