Mr. Fenster gets results: His diligence, winning attitude, and constant search for that legal needle in a haystack mean free clients, many of whom would be behind bars without his help. Most importantly, although his formidable legal strength is apparent to anyone in the court, his clients see beneath the courtroom show, to an incredibly driven, hardworking man, who puts in the long hours and does whatever it takes, not just to get the job done, but to do the right thing for those he defends.
