What do you find most rewarding?
In litigation practice, the solution to a client’s controversy is never black and white nor is there a straightforward argument with clear and unequivocal basis in the law. As a results-oriented litigation attorney, there are few things more rewarding than being able to achieve our client’s goals and successfully represent their interests by creatively and intuitively crafting arguments from the endless nuances and gray areas of the law.
