Relationship: Worked together on matter
Mr. Loftus has demonstrated amazing talent in several complex legal matters. He has extensive knowledge of the law and his experience proves its value daily. He shows great subtlety of thought and analysis, which are two characteristics that I believe to be critical for a successful attorney. He is personable and has an upstanding moral character. He is prudent, thorough, clear and articulate. I believe that Mr. Loftus practices in one of the most analytically challenging areas of the law and he unequivocally grasps the requisite discipline to excel. I unhesitatingly endorse him.
