Kannon is the best; you can't get better representation for an appeal.
Kannon is the best of the best. His work is always superb – and superb across the board. The term brilliant is often overused, but it is a perfect fit here.
He knows the bench, knows the drivers and is adept at navigating situations with multiple parties not necessarily all rowing in the same direction. His ability to be an effective advocate internally as well as externally is impressive.
