Dear Herb:

About a year ago, the Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly publicized your being deserving of "senior status recognition" and a damn good trial lawyer. I agree! From my family, profound thanks to you and John Sullivan for the support and assistance given to us by you fellows in a desperate time of need for understanding and caring concerning our daughter. The end result was fantastic! John Sullivan is an astute student of the law - and should lecture. His message is certain to be well received. A fine trial lawyer. Thank you again, Herb. Stay well.

I thank you sincerely for that - I was able to focus on my recovery rather than focusing on the lawsuit.My best to you both - I will absolutely keep you in mind should I need further legal advice or need to refer anyone else since I could do so knowing they were in good hands.Warm regards,Judy
