Tom Hargrove is the most prepared trial lawyer I have ever seen. He had the opposing counsel rattled within twenty minutes of opening arguments. We won a $47M verdict.

When the DOJ came in with a criminal referral, I thought my career was over. Elena Marcus had it dismissed in five months without a single charge filed. Extraordinary.

Our wage and hour class action exposure was north of $120M. David Osei's team negotiated a $3.2M settlement and restructured our HR policies. We sleep at night again.
