They are responsive, smart and user friendly. I have complete faith in them.” And: “A first-rate team, with particular specialty in high-value, highly complex trust litigation. They are very much a leading player in the field, and they always give confidence that no matter how large or how complex, they have done it all before, and know precisely what to do next. I am currently working on a multi-billion dollar trust dispute with them, and they are fantastic. They are gold standard.
