"I endorse this lawyer."
"Steve is an excellent attorney who combines an extensive knowledge of the law with a very strong work ethic."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known him for many years and have worked with him on several patent litigation matters. He is a very gifted litigator with vision and creative strategies. He also is an extremely hard worker. I am also aware of several situations where a party who Steve opposed in a first lawsuit hired him in connection with a subsequent lawsuit involving the party, because the party had been so impressed with Steve's litigation skills in connection with the first lawsuit."
"I served as opposing counsel against Mr. Hill in a federal appeal. He was professional, knowledgable, courteous and a very good advocate for his client. He is an asset to the legal profession."
