Kurt Leyendecker, Intellectual property Attorney on Nov 16, 2017
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
Forrest Plesko was an intern and then a paid law clerk for Leyendecker & Lemire. During this time he worked tirelessly on a major litigation the Firm was defending. As a clerk who had not yet finished law school, he helped draft several motions that helped move the case to a successful resolution for our client. So many years later as a seasoned attorney, Forrest’s skills are no doubt even more formidable.
Forrest is a talented attorney with experience advising and representing clients in a wide range of legal matters.
