"I have been practicing law for over 26 year, and I have been in my current position for 16 years. Homer is the best lawyer that I have worked with during my career. He is intelligent, thoughtful, thorough, and easy to work with. He can relate to CEO's, first-line supervisors, and all management levels in between. He has a good sense of humor. He is an extremely effective oral and written communicator. He can make complicated concepts seem simple. I would not hesitate to recommend Homer as an attorney to any potential client."
