If you had told me when we started our firm five years ago that we would be able to attract a superstar like Larry Tribe, I would have told you that you were nuts. For obvious reasons, we are so honored and excited to be able to work on cases with one of the greatest legal minds on the many important issues facing our clients and nation today.
