Daniel Richards, Appeals Attorney on Dec 7, 2009
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Tracy worked with me on a two year case. She did all the heavy lifting. We were forced to trial by an opponenet who did not properly evaluate the risk. Tracy and I tried the case won the case and won it again at the Court of Appeals. I would love to try a case with Tracy again. Dan Richards
