“Having expanded our presence nationally across the past year, it is also a great endorsement of the success of our recruitment in that lawyers across our national practice have received such recognition.”
“This suggests that our values of dedication, excellence, loyalty, and trustworthiness are being maintained even while we significantly expand our team nationwide,” Leembruggen said.
