MC&A forges ahead in 2009!  In 2008 we represented clients in litigations on issues ranging from predatory lending, breach of contract claims, insurance fraud, and criminal law.  In 2009, we aim to grow our practice by lecturing at law schools, publishing articles, and providing legal commentary to media outposts such as CNN Headline News, Tru TV (formerly Court TV), and FOX Business Network.  We will also continue to provide you with the latest legal trends and news.  We want to take this opportunity to thank our clients and look forward to working with you in 2009!
