I was a college athlete, and I know what kind of time and effort it requires in order to get ready for a game. However, being an athlete, also allows me to understand what happens at the last second, how to respond in the courtroom as things unfold. I know the concept of team and we apply the concept of team at Alpert Schreyer to get good results for our clients.
