Delaware Attorney Thomas Uebler is rarely inclined to say more than necessary.
“Being a good lawyer, I think, requires a lot of listening, so I try to listen more and talk less,” he says.
And when he does choose to speak, he is rarely inclined to engage in over-the-top rhetoric, preferring to maintain a calm, civil, and dispassionate demeanor, even with opposing counsel.
“I’ve always been proud of the fact that I could have a case against a lawyer and be friendly with them afterward,” he says.
A founding partner of McCollom D’Emilio Smith Uebler LLC in Wilmington, Delaware, the corporate litigator grew up around law. Uebler’s father, Al, was a patent attorney with a solo practice and his mother, Marsha, was the firm’s office manager. There was little talk of legal affairs around the dinner table, however.
“By the time they got home I think they had other things they would rather talk about,” says Uebler wryly.
