John McCracken has served a long time as legal counsel pro bono for my non-profit organization. Frankly, protracted legal negotiations (mainly about real estate, in my case) highlight my impatience. I acknowledge and address the need to review and revise paperwork once or twice. But by the time I get to the third rendition, paperwork and conferences begin to threaten my sanity. You'll never see that sort of reaction in John M. Always, and ESPECIALLY when he spots an opponent trying to gain unfair advantage, he seems as energized as a chess grandmaster. He never lets emotions overrule his judgment, yet seems eager to plot the next move. I am confident making decisions based upon his general summary of all the particular details. My organization and this community are better thanks to him.
