“I’m thrilled to be joining ECBA, a firm whose values I share and whose work ethic and skill I have come to admire. This is a wonderful opportunity for me to continue the kind of work that has motivated me as a lawyer for more than thirty years, to take on new challenges in new arenas, and to do it all with colleagues who are as dedicated to justice and client service as I am,” said Professor Ogletree.
