    Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

    I've litigated against Phil, and served as co-counsel on his team. Phil is always brilliant, dedicated, tireless and fearless. His legal filings are astute and persuasive, and his oral argument skills devastatingly incisive. I endorse Phil, without hesitation or exception, for all litigation matters.
