Other Professionals
In each of our matters, William Markham or Dorn Bishop charts the underlying strategy, directly oversees or performs the work and tries the case in court. We often collaborate with younger, highly qualified attorneys, who help us to perform our work, particularly in larger matters. Our attorneys are supported by our paralegal assistants, Laura Avila and Ana Ruiz. In our larger matters, we sometimes work with other highly qualified senior attorneys and delegate certain kinds of tasks to junior attorneys who perform their work at a lower hourly rate under our direct supervision. For example, in one case we quickly assembled a team of eight contract attorneys who worked under the direction of Mr. Markham and Mr. Bishop. We associate only with attorneys who have excellent backgrounds, are highly skilled at their work, and meet our professional standards.
