Steven Siegfried is an excellent lawyer and one of the founding partners of Siegfried Rivera. I hold him in high regard.
Stuart Sobel has exceptional industry knowledge and a deep understanding of construction and field operations. His grasp of how projects are executed is far beyond what you typically see from outside counsel. He could practically run a job site himself.
Stuart is very well regarded as an excellent trial lawyer and practitioner.
