"Not only was your technical performance superior, but you managed to maintain a remarkable balance, collegiality, and good humor in the face of multiple lawyer demands and many late-night hours throughout a long, complex trial. Your commitment, courtroom experience, and extensive preparation for each day of trial ensured that the exhibits, deposition transcripts, video clips, on-screen highlighting, transformation of diagrams and demonstratives, among others, were seamlessly retrieved and projected in perfect sequence and on cue. While it was abundantly clear to us, even opposing counsel recognized the disparity between the services you provided and those of their consultant." — Foley & Lardner
