Othni Lathram, Government Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Ralph is one of the best litigators I know. His command of both the substantive and procedural issues in case is outstanding. He is able to master the most complicated of subject matters. He operates with an ethical compass that is beyond reproach and a style that puts others at ease. His ability to deal with opposing counsel in a productive manner is a great strength. I endorse Ralph with no reservation whatsover and would recommend him to handle any matter without hesitation.

Ralph is an excellent trial attorney, and a good person, too. I had the opportunity to work alongside him for nearly two years as his local counsel in Boston. His presentation skills and courtroom demeanor are among the best I have ever observed. I endorse him without reservation.
