Heavy Hitters Description

After picking up the Heavy Hitters story on the wires I was really surprised that I was able to get direct access to James Alexander, partner of the firm and a major player in the story. I probably shouldn't have been so surprised, though. What lawyer wouldn't jump at the chance to tell his side of the story for a case he just won. I still did not expect to get through so quickly. I called the office and spoke with a secretary. After explaining the situation, she told me the people I should speak to were Mr. Alexander and Mr. Catalano, but that neither was in yet. She reassured me that if I called back one of them would make time to talk with me.

When I called back I was put right through to James Alexander and I was able to conduct my interview. Mr. Alexander gave me a brief background description of the case, what the issues were, and why his firm got involved. Instead of telling me that he couldn't comment on a possible appeal, he walked me through several scenarios and explained the process. He is an opinionated man and he spoke frankly, allowing me to fish out some of the more interesting aspects of the story.
