I had the great pleasure of spending much of my time while enrolled at Marquette Law School next to Marvin Bynum as we each worked endlessly to develop our legal skills. Through similar coursework, we both chose to actively participate in Real Estate Law as well as specialize in developing our transferable ADR skills, which generally includes negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. Marvin not only progressed to the top of our graduating class, but further accomplished this while participating in our prestigious and time consuming Marquette Law Review. However, what makes Marvin so exceptional as an Attorney is his inherent ability to conquer any and every task, with such confidence and ease. Simply put Marvin's personality alone was able to earn the complete respect of his mentors and I truly believe each individual peer. While it definitely takes a certain type of individual to even survive law school and the life of an attorney to follow, Marvin is able to excel in so many arenas that his abilities are able to reach beyond that of the average attorney. From my experience, Marvin is able to assist unknowingly in developing the careers and affecting the lives of those around him without a single thought or provocation. I personally thank Marvin and can guarantee his clients must do so on a daily basis as well!
