What others say
His attention to detail is excellent and, given the magnitude of the work he undertakes, he does a sterling job.
He went above and beyond the demands of his role. He was sensitive and empathetic when dealing with issues that I found difficult to discuss. Eddie is quite simply brilliant.
He is immensely hardworking and can take a novel approach when needed to pursue the right litigation strategy
