  1. Serge Turko

    Briefs well written but has difficulty grasping subject matter

    Melissa and her firm acted as counsel to my firm. Has difficulty dealing with her Associates. Very high turnover. The associates have produced very well written briefs, Melissa has difficulty grasping complex issues. Has good writing skills but is unable to conduct depositions. Very weak in oral arguments and has difficulty thinking on her feet. Prepares extensively for oral arguments but as soon as the subject matter goes on a tangent she is lost. Invoicing will skyrocket whilst grasping the subject matter.
