| Glenn believes the key to putting together deals and representing clients is having the knowledge and experience needed to know when and how to act and respond. Sometimes, real danger is swimming around clients. When swimming in shark-infested waters, knowing when to move and when not to move can be a lifesaver. When handling a legal matter, knowing when to advise a client to act or not to act is equally vital. |

“Litigating disputes between businesses or individuals teaches you a lot. Indeed, there
is
no substitute for experience. My clients don't just benefit from my personal expertise.
When they hire me, they hire Denton & Keuler. Because of the personal and professional attention our clients receive from me, they sometimes forget that. I don't. The additional knowledge and experience from our 13 attorneys and 20 staff professionals should give
our clients comfort in dealing with all legal situations.”
