"When I was the President of a regional soft drink brand, my company had a significant contractual dispute with one of the largest independent soft drink bottlers in the U.S. We were represented by Bell, Davis & Pitt. The case went all the way to a trial, and the jury returned a verdict in our favor which was also affirmed on appeal. We were extremely pleased with the quality of the work and services that we received."
