RE: Recommendation of Gary Freedman

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Gary Freedman has been employed as a Law Clerk by the firm of Sagot & Jennings
since May 1981. During his employment, I have served as his Supervising Attorney and
have reviewed virtually all his work.

Gary was originally hired to work only during the summer of 1981. However his work
product was so superior to other law clerks who have worked for this firm, that it was
the consensus of all the Attorneys for whom Gary had produced legal research and
writing that he be hired on a part-time basis while completing his education.

I personally have found that Gary posseses the necessary ability to become a lawyer
of substantial quality. He is capable of synthesizing legal issues, completing in-depth
legal research on a variety of subjects, and writing with clarity and persuasiveness.
He also understands that it is necessary to pay attention to details and has
consistently exhibited such an ability.

Under my direction, Gary has also been involved, in a capacity as a paralegal, with
assisting individual clients with a variety of legal problems. He has shown an ability to
speak with individual clients and he has exhibited the necessary zeal in representing
them in their particular matters.

Gary has been a significant asset to our firm and I personally recommend him for a
position as an Attorney in any agency, firm, or corporation of his choice.
