"Alex is a good appellate lawyer and is active in our statewide organization--Cal.Appellate Defense Counsel"
Criminal defense Attorney | May 11
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I have had the pleasure of working with Alex on several matters, all of which benefited immeasurably from his participation! Alex is one of the few trial attorneys who has significant appellate experience this early in his career, and it benefits all clients dealing with matters in the trial court, to have both an effective advocate at that stage, which Alex no doubt is, but also to have someone with the foresight to properly set up and frame appellate issues, which Alex no doubt, does."
