Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Caryn is a formidable force in the courtroom and a fierce advocate for her clients. She was always professional and courteous in our interactions, even at the height of contentiousness in our case against one another. It is difficult to strike the balance of being a good advocate for a client while not being unreasonable or difficult to work with as an opposing counsel. Caryn strikes the balance perfectly, providing a good service to her clients and raising the bar of work product and professionalism in this industry. I endorse Caryn Jones without reservation.
