"Mr. Pena is the ultimate warrior inside and outside the courtroom. His unique background and experience has provided him with both trial advocacy and negotiations skills which from what I have personally seen are second to none. Equally vital is his keen intuition in assessing opposing counsel's posture in a case--and then taking full advantage. Mr. Pena is also extremely trustworthy and loyal. He does his absolute best for every single client."
