Litigation lawyer | Mar 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had the privilege of trying a jury trial to verdict with Rebecca last year. She has great trial-lawyer instincts and did impressive work in front of the jury. This is not true of all lawyers with a resume like Rebecca's. There are many smart lawyers who don't have the skill set to speak persuasively to a jury. Likewise, there are many impressive trial lawyers who lack the skills to write a persuasive brief in a complicated case. Rebecca is the rare breed who can to do both."
