Receivership & Trustee Projects
John has been my attorney on several trustee and receivership cases at intervals going back over 10 years. He represents me in two current cases. John has proven himself an excellent lawyer by knowing just where to draw the line on the legal work and providing the legal advice for the business decisions I make. He has played a key role in helping me successfully tackle a variety of challenging legal issues involving a wide range of industry circumstances. He has been timely in identifying potential conflicts for himself or his Firms so that I could manage my resources effectively to the issue. John has consistently performed to the highest standards of his profession in my work with him. I will seek to engage him on my future projects and recommend him to others.
