KSN Managing Partner Ryan Shpritz: “Al was an excellent attorney and brilliant legal mind whose clients loved him and stayed with him through to the end of his career. Moreso, he was one of the kindest and friendliest gentlemen you would meet. He remembered everything you told him about your family and always asked for updates. Bob Nesbit summed up Al the best – ‘You could never tell Al that you liked his tie, because if you did, he would take it off and give it to you.'”
