Terry Melnyk (Savanna Energy Services Corp)

I began working with Fred Fulton and his colleagues at Thompson & Knight when I was in-house at another company. After moving to another company, I was glad to have the opportunity to hire him to help us on securities and corporate governance matters. Fred is extremely knowledgeable and responsive. He has a keen eye for details, and is a nice person to deal with on a daily basis.

Fred is a business person's lawyer, very knowledgeable and eager to assist in any transaction or problem. He listens well and acts accordingly. It has been a pleasure to work with him for many years.
