        Louis gets results. In my profession, I’ve engaged over 100 lawyers over the years, and he is definitely one of the finest and most effective I’ve ever worked with; He was a clear and responsive communicator with me as his client, the defendants and the court system. He had clearly earned the respect of the Judge in my case due to his previous court dealings. There was a lapse in the settlement payments at one point, and Louis was tenacious about getting the payments resumed. While Louis is firm and tough, he is fair and respectful of everyone in the process. I truly can’t speak highly enough of Louis.
