A trusted advisor for our bank's regulatory compliance

Cliff Harrison provided invaluable guidance during a recent regulatory examination of our community bank. His 50 years of experience in financial services regulation was immediately apparent, and his deep knowledge of compliance matters was crucial. The recent 'Lawyer of the Year' recognition is well-deserved. While his expertise is top-tier, communication response times could occasionally be quicker. Overall, his strategic counsel from Butler Snow was instrumental in resolving the matter favorably. We have great confidence in his judgment.
