Terrific Lawyer, Even Better Human Being

I've known Mr. Kolego for years and yet I'm constantly amazed by his kindness, bluntness, deceny, and razor-sharp legal mind. He treats everyone (regardless of social standing, status, wealth, et al.) with respect and honesty, which is in short stock these days. In short, whereas most people think of... Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch, I think of Mr. Kolego.
