Alan is one of the finest lawyers I have ever worked with. I am a practicing attorney and he is my first choice for referring clients when I have a conflict. His work is meticulous, but timely, and always efficient and cost-effective. Absolutely first-rate.
"Alan provides his clients with excellent representation. He is professional yet aggressive in a way that does not expose his clients to unneccessary fees. Alan obtains results for his clients and I would not hesitate to refer a matter to him."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. He is a very ceative and apt realestate and construction lawyer. Alan is clever and tenacious advocate, who work ethics pays off in great outcomes for his clients."
