I worked with Mark Spring and his team in Sacramento, who did an outstanding job in resolving a particularly challenging sexual harassment claim. Mark and his team assessed the case very accurately early on. Thereafter, they worked very hard and creatively in obtaining favorable facts to develop the most resonating defense theme. Their strategic zealousness and unwavering commitment to focus on the strengths of our case rather than be distracted by the trivial, was the difference and ultimately led to a very favorable resolution.
