“I don’t have the words to express how thankful I am to [Mike Barbiero and Harrison Fonteix] for their tedious hard work. They made a difficult situation as smooth and painless as possible.”
“The world of local community involvement has definitely become somewhat more complicated, even combative at times over the last few years.” Said Firm Litigation Chair Michael Barbiero.
“However, we are extremely proud of the results we’ve been able to achieve for School Districts, Municipalities and community members time and time again on these fronts.”
“With this specific case, we are humbled by the kind words of our client and I must echo his sentiments on the outstanding work of Rudolph Clarke Associate Harrison Fonteix did on this matter.” Said Barbiero.
"When I was served with a civil suit for "defamation" by a candidate for public office. I literally had no idea what to expect. I didn't know where to even begin. The settlement offer gave me less then 2 days to accept it or end up in court. I knew I didn't do anything that could be considered defamation, but I had no idea how I was going to prove that."
"Rudolph Clarke, specifically Mike and Harrison were recommended to me by a friend. I couldn't be more grateful for that recommendation. Mike and Harrison held my hand through the process so there were no surprises. Although they couldn't guaruntee the outcome we wanted, they were confident in our strategy and that the law would be on our side. I have no doubt if the circumstances were different they would have been honest with me even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
"I communicated with Harrison more than anyone, and even though there were a few bumps in the road, he handled them in stride. Not once did I ever feel we were going to lose."
"....it was Harrison and Mike's perfect combination of aggressiveness and restraint when called for, that caused them to drop their case with prejudice. I didn't have to pay the plaintiff anything and I retained my ability to talk about this case publicly."
"I don't have the words to express how thankful I am to these guys for their tedious hard work. They made a difficult situation as smooth and painless as possible."
