Testimonials
Over the past six years I have served as the General Counsel of Garland ISD and have had the good fortune of working with David Hansen and Eric Munoz on real estate and construction matters. I rely on David frequently to explain complex matters in simple terms so I may advise my internal clients on best steps for the district. Additionally, Eichelbaum Wardell provides an annual CLE on Legal Issues for Cheerleaders and Drill Team that I found invaluable. As an in-house attorney, I find myself referring to the handouts from this seminar whenever an issue regarding Cheer or Drill Team arises. Great lawyers, great firm.
Lisa Ray
