Defending against a thrid party subpoena

I found him to be knowlegable in the domain that was required for my case, which was related to a thrid party subpoena. It involved defending against a large corporation. He was easily accessable and helped to develop a comprehensive plan. He worked well with all parties and took a very realistic ...approach to the problem. He was very efficient in his work and I was fully satisfied with the ultimate outcome which could have been very damaging had it not been handled so skillfuly.
