Meet Lucas E. Lung
Dispute Resolution and Advocacy Lawyer"The practice of litigation today is far more than courtroom advocacy. Our clients are involved in proceedings before a variety of administrative tribunals and private alternative dispute resolution processes. To effectively represent our clients, we have to be flexible and adaptable to any forum - these are two of our greatest strengths."
