  • ‘The appellate team I have worked with is exceptional. They are very quick, have a broad base of specialization, and are very much a bet-the-company type of go to team, especially in the Fifth Circuit and, as may be necessary, in the US Supreme Court. Best trait of this team is they are not very ego driven and this leads to extensive willingness to collaborate with client, trial team and even co-appellate counsel to maximize chances of success. Very strategic-minded.’

  • ‘Aaron Streett is probably the smartest, and most effective appellate advocate I have ever worked with. His ability to shine as he does is, as he will admit, a function of the team he surrounds himself with, in our case, Christopher Tutunjian. These fine lawyers really immerse themselves in their cases and in the record, and use their deep dive into the record more effectively than anyone I have encountered.' 

  • ‘The depth of talent is second to none at all levels, from the senior partners within the practice group, to the young associates. The firm has assembled an impressive team across all levels of experience.’

  • ‘Aaron Streett possesses Solomonic wisdom and judgment coupled with a quiet confidence and humility that make him an authoritative, trustworthy, convincing and credible advocate.'

  • 'Anthony Lucisano is a gifted writer that wins on his papers, and a rising star who is equally capable in translating written work product into compelling, authoritative oral advocacy.'
  • 'The depth of talent is second to none at all levels from the senior partners within the practice group, to the young associates that are taking the labouring oar on legal research and the drafting of briefs'.
  • 'The firm has assembled an impressive team across all levels of experience.'
