Ed masters written and verbal business language in such a persuasive ways, void of the negative connotation attributed to manipulation, that what could be difficult message can be heard and often accepted. Add to his character of wanting to do the “right” thing in advising his clients, he is trustworthy and steady. I have worked with Ed when he was my employer’s corporate attorney and I am hiring him again as my companies outsourced attorney.
