“
Steve was aggressive in dealing with opposing counsel and in protecting our interests in Court, but his advice to us was always practical and realistic. He got to know our business and together we shaped the litigation strategy to meet our business needs. Steve is also as responsive and attentive a lawyer as I’ve worked with.”
