    Why talk to Steven G. Weiler?

    Roxanne M. Eastes joined DLA Piper's Wilmington office in the Restructuring group.

    I would confidently recommend Steven to any attorney that wishes to make a lateral move. Steven is extremely knowledgeable about the legal markets he works in (in my case it was Delaware) and he had valuable insights on the hiring process. He helped me prep for interviews and he gladly answered all of my questions, big and small. What I appreciated most about Steven, however, was that he took time to get to know me and understand my unique career and life goals. I never felt pressured to accept an interview and never felt that he pushed me in a direction I wasn’t comfortable with. Steven also took time to check in with me regularly during the process and provided extra support during my transition from one firm to the other. A lateral move is a scary time for any attorney, and I am so grateful I had Steven to guide me through the process! I highly, highly recommend him!
