Patient, Listens, Open too others opinions
No decision has been made, but after speaking with literally dozens of lawyers, He was one of 3 that could consider a case outside his normal comfort zone. On top of that he is taking time too see if it might be a case he will take. I can say, he is a rarity, A gem already.
