Bonnie Paskvan
Calista CorporationCommunications Law
Telecommunications Law Professionals is top-notch when it comes to telecommunications legal advice that takes into consideration business aspects of regulatory matters. They provide counsel that is supported by a complete knowledge of the sector, as well as the client's operations and drivers. We have used them for everything from the ordinary, such as tracking FCC activity and dockets, to the extraordinary, including time-sensitive adversarial matters requiring rapid development of tactics, strategy, and advocacy materials. In particular, Michael Lazarus can be commended for his responsiveness, knowledge, and advocacy, as well as his relationships with industry decision-makers.
Communications Law
With Telecommunications Law Professionals, I always know that my interests are being considered even when I am not able to track every issue. That alone brings great value, but considering that the firm literally never bills me for this sort of "side-monitoring" sets it above other firms on which I've relied over decades.
