Litigation Attorney | Jul 15
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"James is a smart, seasoned and highly effective litigator. James represented a defendant in an employment matter in which I represented the plaintiff. The case was litigated vigorously and James served his client with great skill. As the case progressed, my respect for James as opposing counsel and an unusually talented lawyer deepened.
I endorse James Montgomery with confidence and enthusiasm."
