He motivates attorneys to do better in defending their clients and encorages attorneys to work together. I recently watched Wilvin win an acquital from a jury for his client. Wilvin delivered a compelling and very logical closing argument to the jury. He was very passionate about his message and believed wholeheartedly in his client.
