Bryan Andrew Garner

I hired Bryan Garner and his team of five lawyers to work on an appellate brief for my client. His reputation as a top-notch writer is unquestionable, and I was interested to see it in practice. Blown away is all I can really say. His description of editorial consulting doesn't do it justice. It wasn...'t an "editing job" so much as a complete rewrite of the brief. Despite my initial skepticism during the process, the final production was impeccable--no-spin but persuasive, and above all winning. You've never experienced anything as intense as a round of serial editing in Garner's office. It is humbling but indisputably enlightening. It was a learning experience that I've put into practice in my group. We've made it a practice of reviewing some of Garner's edits on the brief we hired him on to use in our later work, hoping the genius will rub off on us. And squeezing out every last drop of goodness from that appellate masterpiece. This is one satisfied client, and I am eager to work with him again if I get a case that would interest him. The legal gods willing.
