"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Norm Pine and his firm. He is a brilliant appellate attorney, he is a great writer and addresses the issues exactly the way the appellate court wants the case handled. He was so comfortable arguing the case as well. If you have a large verdict that you want to protect or defend, definitely hire Norm Pine for your appeal. He's the best! He successfully handled UC Regent's appeal of Dr. Janet Conney's $2.95 Million Verdict for Retaliation, Gender Discrimination at UCLA. We prevailed all the way to the Supreme Court. Thanks Norm Pine!"
"When it comes to fighting topreserve your verdict against attacks in the appellate court, there's no better...plain and simple."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Pine and Pine are successful, creative, knowledgeable and hard-working appellate attorneys. I have been completely satisfied with their legal analysis, both in the consulting work they did on one case and when they handled the appeal in another from start to finish. Their factual and legal arguments are superb, as is their writing and Norman Pine's oral argument skills. They have successfully defended jury verdicts for many outstanding plaintiff's trial attorneys I know. When I want to keep a verdict, I call Pine and Pine."
