"It was not until I worked with you that I learned how to be a good lawyer" -Leslie G T

Vanessa, I spent three years in law school, followed by three years in practice, but it was not until I worked with you that I learned how to be a good lawyer. Your guidance showed me the significance of meticulous editing and attention to detail, emphasized the necessity of precision in writing (taught me the difference between sample and model), and, most significantly, the importance of empathy in teaching and advocating for others. You served as a mentor in my teaching endeavors and as a supportive friend, rejoicing in my successes and offering solace during challenging times. Your influence on my life has been profound, and for that, I am deeply grateful.

With love and affection,
Leslie G T
