“Very bright and hard working.”

“I have worked either on the same sided or on the opposite side of Tony for years. He is an exceptional attorney, as well as a great human-being. Recently, he took on an appeal in a case that was completely pro bono and frankly the likelihood of any good outcome was remote, to say the least. Tony poured his heart into this case, again much like I have seen him do before. He worked tirelessly for this client, even though he was being paid nothing. Well, recently we learned that he won this impossible appeal. Suddenly, this client with no where to turn, has a great case again, thanks exclusively to Tony. He is a true Super Lawyer!”
