Congratulations to LDM partner Mark E. Novotny, for his recent induction in the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA).  ABOTA is an invitation-only organization aimed at elevating the standard of integrity, honor, and courtesy in the legal profession.  It seeks out attorneys who display the skills, civility and integrity to help younger attorneys achieve a higher level of trial advocacy and educate the public about the vital importance of the Seventh Amendment which guarantees the right to trial by jury.
