What Clients Are Saying

“I wanted to tell you again that yesterday’s result was outstanding. Your strategy of trying this case against Burnetti was spot on, and the application of the strategy was flawless. A net zero verdict on a clear liability case, starting at $180k in specials in retrospect is incredible. I have to say that yesterday would have to be the high point of my litigation part of my job. I told you I have sat through at least 12 trials at least, and have had a large number of good results. Given the facts of this case yours was phenomenal, In all other cases, I tried in the past we had something positive to work with. This one was just the Scarborough clinic on trial lawyering. It was a pleasure to watch it.”
