I have had the pleasure of working with Allan on a number of complex cases over the years and have found him to be singularly effective in recognizing the critical issues and addressing them in a very persuasive manner. I have also had many occasions to observe Allan’s appellate advocacy on a broad range of complicated matters. Across this range, Allan has displayed the ability to reduce complex matters to their essential terms and advance the most persuasive approach to the issues. I think very highly of Allan’s appellate skills and would have no hesitation in recommending him.
