It's not hard to choose when Evan Elan is a choice

Mr. Elan was the third lawyer to whom I spoke and rises above the others with his insights, intuitive questions and knowledge of current law. He effectively told me bluntly--honestly--"you don't have a case." Then he continued to offer advice and sympathy for my non-case. He invested time into someon...e who had very little to offer back and demonstrated that Shakespeare was NOT entirely wrong when he said, "First, kill all the lawyers!" Evan Elan deserves to be in a separate class. Thank you for your help. You are a Good Samaritan.
