I would like to use this opportunity to thank Mr. Petrus and his associates for a wonderful and unforgettable time spent in The Empire State Building.

I am very grateful to Mr. Petrus for the opportunity that he gave me to work in his office. During my time in there I learned a lot of about the American law and how to work in an American company.
I learned not only with a brilliant professional but a great person too. Thank you very much for everything and for your patience!!

Working for the Law Office of Paul D. Petrus Jr. was one of the most involving and profitable experiences I have ever done. Usually big law firms lack of the personal relations that you can have in smaller ones, this law office has the upsides of bigger firms such as: several clients coming everyday, fast-paced rhythm and also the good aspects of smaller offices like: many
responsibilities to deal with and a chance to learn a lot about the profession. During this internship I have often accompanied Mr. Petrus to the Court,
and it was great to follow the cases we were working for in the office.
I am very thankful for the unforgettable opportunity that Mr. Petrus gave to me.
