Mr. Reisman heads the firm’s litigation practice and has spent decades honing his skills as a litigator and trial lawyer in the state and federal courts.

Mr. Reisman’s litigation experience includes participation in two high-profile matters which eventually made their way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
