Nicholas M M Drum's Lawyer Endorsements
"Nick is a first-class attorney who brings a truly impressive skill set to the table. He's an excellent tactician, able to deftly navigate his clients through what is often a complicated and stressful process. He's also a uniquely talented advocate, both on paper and in the courtroom. I don't hesitate at all to say that Nick is one of the most gifted speakers I've ever met."
"I endorse this lawyer. Nick is an experienced and effective trial attorney in every aspect of litigation."
"Nick is an exceedingly calm and balanced individual who handles the emotionally charged world of litigation with grace. As someone who has worked with Nick, I can say that he has excellent strategic vision for the course of a given representation, and understands that "winning" a dispute can take many forms. Nick displays an awareness of his clients' emotional and financial tolerance for protracted fights, and is a courteous and conscientious advocate. This is a crucial but often-missed trait in a litigator."
"I endorse this lawyer."
