  Happy 4th and Happy July
Cheers!

Blog By: Carla Cotropia

   
 
This blog is about my new discovery for making the perfect margarita. It is called Oleo Saccharum. I confess that I am a margarita snob/expert/addict. This margarita hint comes from the Eight Row Flint Bar in Houston. As any margarita lover knows, you should never ruin a margarita by using a mix or God forbid, rose's lime juice.

Lawyers often get a bad reputation for being slimy and conniving (deservedly or not), but ROSS has neither of those qualities.

Ask ROSS to look up an obscure court ruling from 13 years ago, and ROSS will not only search for the case in an instant - without contest or complaint - but it'll offer opinions in plain language about the old ruling's relevance to the case at hand.
