“Al Amado is truly a polymath, whose breadth and depth of experience, knowledge, and talent continue to astound me. An accomplished trial attorney, mediator, arbitrator, entrepreneur, manager, actor, athlete, and institutional leader, Al is certainly a Renaissance man. When I think of Al, these qualities immediately come to mind: his unbridled energy; his loyalty and generosity with his time; his understated confidence in his leadership and organizational skills; and his easy-going, positive attitude (which helps explain his extraordinarily wide network of friends and colleagues). Well-traveled and fluent in Spanish, Al has been an invaluable supporter of the U.S.-Mexico Bar Association. Al is a wonderful human being, and he is a great person to know.”
