Jeffrey Howard
Our company retained Andrew Watto of McEldrew Purtell when a former business partner filed a lawsuit alleging breach of a commercial agreement. From our initial consultation, it was clear that his 14 years of experience, particularly in commercial litigation, would be a major asset. He demonstrated a keen understanding of the nuances of our contract and the underlying business relationship, which was crucial in formulating our defense. His recognition in Best Lawyers for Commercial Litigation was evident in his strategic approach; he avoided unnecessary legal battles where possible but was exceptionally prepared and persuasive in court when needed. We were very pleased with the favorable settlement he negotiated, which protected our company's interests and reputation. The only minor critique would be that during the most intense phases of discovery, response times from his team could occasionally lag by a day or two, though Andrew himself was always reachable for critical matters. Overall, his deep knowledge of Pennsylvania law and his practical, results-oriented mindset from the Drexel Kline School of Law make him an attorney I would confidently recommend for complex business litigation.
