Testimonial
​
"Manotti Jenkins represented and counseled our famous, but small family owned business, Hillerich & Bradsby Co. (Louisville Slugger), in various patent infringement litigations. Two of these cases were critical to an important product line and market share. One of the critical cases was venued in Japan but had possible impact to an ongoing matter in the US. Manotti is an agile and tactical trial lawyer who never loses sight of the strategic goals of a case, while efficiently applying his time and resources to accomplish ultimate goals. H&B is pleased with every result Manotti has achieved for us, and in the manner in which he represents us. Manotti is a valued current member of our retained outside counsel group."
Steve Lyverse, Vice President & General Counsel, Hillerich & Bradsby Co.
