Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had the pleasure and challenge of opposing Grant Burton on a number of lawsuits. He is a consummate professional, skilled in litigation tactics and resolution. More recently, we have had the opportunity to confer with one another on legal issues and Grant again demonstrated his keen understanding of legal issues, procedure, and strategy. Additionally, and equally important, he has integrity. I highly recommend Grant Burton."
