  • ‘DRT has excellent knowledge of the international landscape, especially in Latin America, which makes them well-equipped to understand the clients´ specific needs and desired outcome. The firm has a very good communication method with clients, often working with them to achieve the most cost/effective results. ’

  • ‘I have a high regard for Gary and his firm and complete confidence in their abilities and responsiveness. The firm is large enough to handle our client's matters, but small enough to provide the hands on, responsiveness that I would expect from a small firm. I am not aware of any technology changes and that would not really matter to me or our firm. Our primary concern is knowing client matters are being handled by the right partner in the firm; that our inquiries are responded to promptly; the billings are fair; and we have a partner we can quickly communicate with.’
