Competent, Patient and attentive
He did a fairly good job on my case as to a standard of court appointed lawyer. He's patient enough and attentive, not to mention he is really passionate about his job. I am a foreigner who was extradited at the Canadian border on a federal crime, unfamiliar with the American justice system.
