ANONYMOUS REVIEWER

relationship: represented me (contract dispute)

comments: Mr. Cavendish was highly effective. He took the other side by surprise with his low key, efficient manner of pressing our claims, and in the way that he took apart the other side's arguments. At the end, he had outlawyered the other people and he made them feel good about it at the same time. An A+ lawyer.
