Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I had the privilege of working as opposing counsel in a catastrophic injury case against Mr. Wheeler. I greatly admired Mr. Wheeler's litigation style, professionalism, and demeanor. He is highly skilled at depositions and I have no doubt that he leaves an impression on a jury.
