“I spend a lot of time trying to find out where the practice is going in the future and dedicating myself to learning about current trends and what the government’s going to be focusing on for future prosecutions.” — Sami Azhari

“It’s great to hear that the way that you’re differentiating yourself isn’t through, slick marketing or advertising, rather through thought leadership and by being at the forefront of your field. ” — Alay Yajnik

“You really have to love what you do and be passionate about it…Pick an area that interests you first…then find a way to make it relevant.” — Alay Yajnik
