Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

Mr. Cuevas is a dedicated advocate who thrives on exceeding the expectations of those around him. He is a good-natured person who is easy to work with, but still has the exceptional skills needed to win in court. This is a rare trait in attorneys and a valuable asset to any potential client. He is intelligent, adaptable, resourceful, and persistent in his practice. I have no doubt that any potential client would be overwhelmed by his impressive work ethic and determination.
