Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have know Steve Brown for almost 20 years. He is a zealous advocate for his clients and always works to insure that they have the best possible result. Since I am normally on the other side of the case, I prefer not to have to go up against Mr. Brown in court. He is very knowledge about the areas of law that he practices in.

"Mr. Brown stands out in this profession as one who goes the extra mile on behalf of his clients to maximize their recovery. He is a clear communicator, a confident litigator, and exemplifies courtesy and professionalism with the Courts and fellow attorneys. As an attorney who often opposes Mr. Brown (for more than 20 years), my experience is that his clients have been represented efficiently, expeditiously and with excellence."
