"I spent twenty years as an inhouse attorney before founding Puritan Faust, P.C. twenty years ago. I managed millions of dollars a year for outside counsel engagements. Joe McGuinness was my favorite attorney to work with in the USA. Twenty years later, when my own client needed a lawyer in California, I was thrilled to have a great attorney, whom I know, available to recommend. My client is as happy with Joe as I have always been. I have also been working with Jeff Flashman at the firm. He has been excellent as well. I would expect nothing less than great people working with Joe."
