This is key in obtaining the best possible result for any case, whether it be in a jury trial or in the negotiation room. He offers free consultations and gives his utmost attention to each and every person who comes through the door.

Herman takes his professional responsibility incredibly seriously. This extends not only to clients but to the courts, opposing counsel, colleagues, support staff, and everyone with whom he comes into contact. He is universally respected and trusted.
