Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I had the good fortune of working as an independent contractor for Allan at Hanson Baker Ludlow Drumheller several years ago on a MTCA/hazardous waste litigation matter, providing support to Allan in discovery and motions practice in that case. I found Allan to be an extremely knowledgeable and conscientious attorney who provided excellent attention to his clients. I have also co-presented at a real estate CLE with Allan and continue to appreciate his expertise in the area of environmental and hazardous waste law. He is a thoughtful and dedicated attorney."
