WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Neil is a tenacious advocate. He knows his strengths and he knows how to deploy them."
MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY
"I try to focus on how I can best help my clients, not how I can generate more work from them. The key is trying to think about a matter from the client’s perspective, and to think about what the client is trying to accomplish, not just responding to a specific question the client may have asked. I also try to be curious and learn as much as I can about the client’s business, and then I look for ideas to suggest or introductions I can make, even when these are unrelated to the legal work we are handling for the client. I typically serve as the firm’s relationship partner with my clients, identifying issues on a particular matter and then identifying the attorneys who would be best suited to address those issues. My job is to make sure the legal work we provide is excellent and timely. I am fortunate to work in a firm that has a large number of outstanding attorneys, so this makes my job easy. "
