“We’ve had attorneys who weren’t nearly as responsive as Lee’s firm has been for us. Our business can be complicated at times and we routinely deal with large national corporations. It’s comforting to know that any legal issue we have, big or small, that all I have to do is make a phone call and will get a helpful response that same day.”
“Lee has been with us thru the thick and the thin of our business operations. We are currently in a substantial growth phase which has largely been accomplished by refinancing we were able to obtained when Lee drafted the paperwork to restructure multiple layers of internal ownership for us. We couldn’t be happier with our relationship.”
“In today’s world, you need to be proactive in dealing with employment issues, and that is exactly what Lee’s firm has done for us over the years. Our company is in the health care industry and we employ approximately 200 people in different locations. Lee has counseled us on the ever-changing legal issues relating to employment law, helped us prepare/revise our employment handbook and represents us as needed when litigation has occurred in both state and federal courts.”
“The nature of an interstate trucking company requires an experienced lawyer being available at all times to evaluate and timely respond to a variety of situations and issues. Lee (and Ralph Hicks before him) has consistently been there for us over the years, as well as helping us with the transition to the next generation running our business.”
“Lee’s law firm has represented our family businesses for years, most recently assisting us with a multi-million dollar sale of one of our companies and the complex buyout of a manager/shareholder in a different company. We couldn’t be happier with the high-quality legal representation we have consistently received from all of these attorneys.”
