"I have known and worked with Alan for about 30 years. Before I joined his law firm, I regularly referred clients with construction, zoning and mechanics lien problems to him, and I used to receive fan mail about his from my clients. He is one of the hardest working, best prepared attorneys it has ever been my pleasure to work with. Alan always follows through, stays on schedule and on budget, and I'm very proud to be his partner."
