TESTIMONIALS
Lewis Cohen and Angela Angelovska-Wilson, both with DLx Law, provided Providence St. Joseph Health with exemplary legal support during the negotiations with Microsoft to create an alliance to accelerate the digital transformation of healthcare. Lewis and Angela were incredibly responsive and proactive throughout. I could not have asked for better outside counsel support, and I would not hesitate to engage them again.
