Competent, Professional, Experienced

I just finished a case with Mr. Thiros as my local counsel. A relatively small matter, but one for a major client of mine. Most lawyers wouldn’t have given it much attention because it wasn’t going to generate significant revenue, particularly for a local counsel. Jim provided not only sound legal... analysis, but also insight about the judge’s inclinations and the nuances about local practice that you can’t find in the practice guides. He was responsive to our requests and stayed on top of the upcoming deadlines. Also, facilitated a constructive relationship with our opposing counsel, which helped with many case management issues. No surprise to me. I’ve used Jim as my local counsel on other matters and each time he’s been a valuable resource that contributed to a successful outcome for my clients. He’s also easy to work with, good demeanor, will go the extra mile without concern for whether he can bill the time.
