Sheila Wirkus Pendergast

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Sheila Pendergast is an extraordinary attorney and a genuine human being. I worked with her on an appeal, where I was the subject matter expert and she was the appellate expert. Not only was she the appellate expert, but her insights into the subject matter - about which she was not as familiar as I - were vital if not determinative to the successful outcome of the matter. Sheila is humble, wildly intelligent and a master of her craft. Successful appeals are not approached like an adversarial proceeding at trial. It is more of a mixture of Public policy and law, and Shiela navigated that world with a fineness and expertise I had not before witnessed. I can endorse Sheila without reservation as an attorney who can appeal a case on a level worthy of the investment of a client’s time and money. Appeals are an enormous undertaking, one that ought not be taken without expert counsel to guide a client. In my view, Sheila is an expert’s expert."
