“I’ve enjoyed working with Tricia, originally while representing adversaries at large firms, and more recently with her as a contract lawyer in the boutique appellate firm I co-managed from 2012-2020. Tricia consistently and enthusiastically delivers well-written and thoroughly-researched work product, and makes a meaningful contribution to any litigation team.” Robert A.
