An Unusual Tribute From Opposing Counsel

An Unusual Tribute From Opposing Counsel

 
It was high praise from opposing counsel — a not-frequent-enough occurrence in the legal industry. That’s what Berman, Berman, Berman, Schneider & Lowary’s Stephanie Schneider received from attorney John F. Stewart of Covina, California, following a resolution in the case of Bobbie Warburton vs. E.B. Janitorial, Inc., et al. “Please allow me to take this opportunity,” wrote Mr. Stewart, “to express my sincerest respect and appreciation for your professional courtesy throughout the pendency of this action. It is unfortunately all too rare these days to encounter an opposing counsel who practices law with determination for their client’s interests and yet maintains a positive relationship with all parties to enable a fair resolution for all concerned. This is what I valued utmost when I entered this profession some 30 years ago, and I am glad that there are people like you to keep that standard into the future.”
