I had the distinct privilege to spend several weeks with Del. During this time, I saw firsthand that Del's advocacy skills are second to none. Del also exemplifies what an attorney should be like outside of the courtroom; he is kind, compassionate, and demonstrates a thoughtfulness that cannot be overstated. I highly endorse Del and I would recommend him to anyone.
