Passion.

Driven by a commitment to excellence, George stays on the cutting-edge of both law and technology in order to enhance the firm's practice of law and achieve results for clients. He understands that technology offers attorneys previously unimaginable ways to benefit their clients. To this end, he has zealously managed and maintained very large electronic and hardcopy document production databases in major litigation where literally every document had to be at the trial group's fingertips.

George is a regular contributor to the firm's client seminar series, SLS blog, and other industry and client education programs.

Outside the practice of law, George is driven by training for and competing in triathlons, which require endurance similar to that of the multi-week trials in which he has engaged.
