“No truly good lawyer can promise a result, but he can promise that when your case is tried and concluded you will be completely satisfied that you had the most aggressive, skilled defense possible. A good lawyer has skill. A good lawyer works hard and prepares. A great lawyer does both.” - Jack McMahon, Esquire
