John represented us in the sale of a small manufacturing company. He was very knowledgeable in all areas of the sale, including taxation, local regulatory compliance, labor relations, estates and trusts. He was available weekends and evenings to fine tune every sentence and negotiate every detail which arose. Most importantly, he is an attorney who went out of his way to solve problems as a deal closer to make the transaction happen. I would strongly recommend his services and his pleasing and personable way of dealing with people and diffusing potential problems.

I hired John to help with the sale of my company, Digiticians. He provided both sound legal judgment and counsel, but he was also a great sounding board for a difficult negotiation. He helped me think through all of the angles and get the best deal. Most importantly, he helped me get the deal done, and to me that was the most important. I would recommend John highly for anyone looking at a major business development, round of investment, merger or acquisition.

I used John for advice and document review when looking at a potential acquisition of a competitor. In addition I took a course John gave for small business owners to understand and prepare for the acquisition process. So in addition to providing me with excellent legal (and business!) advice John also walked me through the process so I knew what to expect and when. His approach was very much showing me how things are done so I could understand and also so I could do as much self-service as I would like to do — which I much appreciated. Some attorney’s tend to hoard their knowledge. John took the opposite approach. I will use John again for the next acquisition I pursue.

We first met John in 2005 when we decided to sell our business that had been in the family for 40 years to a public company. He did a tremendous job of helping us understand what needed to be done to satisfy all of the objectives of different family members, some who continued to work for the new company and some who resigned or retired. In 2008 my brother and I left that pubic company and turned to John to help us acquire a small private company, again with great efficiency and success. We are currently working with John on a very large prospective client that has presented us with a rather complicated contract. As we have grown this company and see another generation coming into the business we will turn to John again to make sure that we are structured properly to protect the next generation and have an orderly transfer of ownership.
