We instructed him on an application to lift an automatic suspension, and his advocacy was very impressive — excellent clarity, persuasiveness, and articulation, with a very strong grasp of the legal and factual issues. Alfred's written work is of the highest quality — thorough and incisive. He is also notably responsive, providing timely and considered feedback whenever needed. Alfred is a pleasure to work with and an invaluable asset to any litigation team.
