Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Samuel for many years now. I work with him as opposing counsel on many cases. He stays on top of the laws and is very knowledgeable. Samuel is always willing to make good faith efforts to resolve matters which are beneficial to both sides. This is a rare characteristic in a lawyer these days."
