Hard Working Attorney
Justin Hoovey had just started his career at the Pillsbury Law Firm and was assigned by Jorge DelCalvo, a senior partner I had worked with before and hired at NETCOM ON-LINE COMMUNICATIONS AND AboveNet COMMUNICATIONS, INC for an IPO, Secondary and M%A.
I quickly realized how bright and hard-working Justin was and knew Justin would be a rising star at Pillsbury.
I have not worked with Justin for many years and have missed the relationship.
