Litigation Attorney | Jul 16
Relationship: Co-worker
"An attorney who can handle litigation matters can handle any matter--that's how I would describe Mary. Through the years I have had the pleasure of working side by side with Mary in multiple litigation matters and was so impressed with her ability, strategy, demeanor and effectiveness that when it was time to start a new firm, I was fortunate enough to partner with her and we formed ROPER LIGH, LLC, and I have no regrets."
