What our Clients say About us

In need of a corporate General Counsel, Milt was recommended to me by the managing partner of an AMLAW 500 firm. Milt came to my office on a day that the federal government was closed due to weather. That was in 2009 and almost 13 years later he is still our General Counsel. Milt has successfully advised us on all matters from the mundane to the most complex to included employment, mergers and acquisitions and various government contract compliance issues.
