Relationship: Worked for lawyer
As soon as I finished law school, I had the distinct pleasure to work with attorney Pakett. During such time, I witnessed first-hand his advocacy skills, and he vigorously and zealously defended each client. I learned a lot from Attorney Pakett during the time I worked with him, and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Without question, I endorse Attorney Pakett.
I endorse this lawyer. As opposing counsel, he was fair, honest and direct. Went above and beyond the call for his client. He is the kind of adversary the other attorneys like and dislike all at the same time.
