Business Attorney | Oct 17
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"Business Law matters can be confusing, complex, and difficult. When it turns to litigation, it can get expensive too. Al is one of those lawyers who thoroughly understands the best interests of his client and the complexities of both the law and the court system and how to balance those competing interests to achieve the best result for his client. When an attorney helps a client turning a dispute into a business decision it can help businesses achieve greater economic success. Al does that by doing what is right and what is sensible. We have been on opposing sides and I highly respect him, his intellect, his insight, his knowledge, and his legal abilities too. If you have a Business Law question, frankly, I think he is your answer. I highly recommend him to you."
