As a small business owner who was just starting out, the thought of working with a lawyer was really intimidating. Nicole Norris at Stoneridge Legal immediately put my mind at ease and took care of everything. She guided me through the complex world of intellectual property and copyrights and took care of everything. It was like having my own personal concierge, there to help me with whatever I needed. She's the rock-star lawyer you want on your side!

I was connected with Nicole through an advisor of mine. I emailed Nicole on a Friday afternoon, explaining that my business had been served two weeks ago, and we need representation and help replying to the complaint within the 30-day deadline. Nicole noticed we didn’t have much time left until a default judgement would occur, so she offered to meet at my office on a Saturday afternoon to get a jump-start on representing us in the case. She offered up time on her Saturday to ensure we start off the case strong. Thank you!

The entire staff is professional and responsive, from Ted down to the support staff. As an attorney in Massachusetts with a law practice management business myself, it is clear that Ted built his practice with a "client-centric" focus in mind.

Michael St. Jacques represented me during a residential construction dispute. He was recommended to me by one of the top legal firms in South Florida and helped to resolve many of the problems created by the general contractor that I had hired. Solving problems quickly, efficiently, and with honestly and personal integrity seems to be his forte. He quickly helped me to find others of the same character. Each problem was approached and handled in a professional manner and he always found a solution. Since that time, he has helped in other areas, such as business and personal needs, always responding quickly with advice and solutions.

Mr. St. Jacques represented me as a defendant in a construction lien case against my home in Monroe County Florida. His knowledge of the complex Florida construction lien laws was instrumental in a decidedly successful outcome. Mr. St. Jacques proved to be a very trustworthy and dedicated professional who paid close attention to every aspect of the case with care and consideration. He traveled hours south for each deposition and court appearance personally, while kindly guiding me in understanding the arduous intricacies of the proceedings. The Florida Statutes regarding construction liens are complex, meticulous and confusing. Without Mr. St. Jacques impressive comprehension of these laws, I’m not sure the results would have been so favorable. Bottom line is when or if you find yourself involved in a similar mess, make sure you find representation that equally mirrors Mr. St. Jacques experience and knowledge – this guy REALLY knows what he’s doing.

Cares about clients and wants to get you a positive outcome without bankrupting you. I have learned that you can pretty much divide divorce attorneys into 2 categories: one group that simply wants to churn information back and forth between attorneys as well as between attorney and client in way that simply bills hours and accomplishes little until the 11th hour when it could have been settled in the first or second hour. And then there is a group, like Karen, that truly wants to problem solve, propose solutions, avoid litigation and get an outcome for her client that is both fair and reasonable in cost. Karen is honest, dedicated and she told me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I was fortunate to have someone recommend her to me and, every time I mentioned her to someone in the legal community in Maryland (4x), the response from each attorney was overwhelmingly positive. If you are looking for someone who will be in your corner, fight for you, shoot straight with you(the good and the bad), look no further than Karen Amos.

This was a very stressful event/case for me, and he was completely supportive, making the process so much easier to endure. He acted not just as a lawyer, but as a friend. I have nothing but positive things to say about him, and I would absolutely hire him again. He is deserving of five stars, as he (and his entire staff) did an outstanding job. Thanks Patrick!

She has become more of a partner in our filmmaking company, having earned the respect and trust of a wide array of personalities and high-level players, including creative talents such as writers and directors, in addition to attorneys representing "the other side." She has negotiated complex film financing, distribution, screenwriting, directing, book option and purchase and marketing deals with major writers, studios, investors, publishing houses and directors. She is tough but personable, a consigliere in the most difficult of circumstances, unafraid to hold my own hands steady and, when necessary, my feet to the fire. In a word, Liz Hasse is brilliant.

Liz and her team at CILG have represented me for almost 5 years. I first hired Liz in 2007 after being disappointed by two other legal teams during an incredibly difficult, emotional and complicated legal battle surrounding a media production which ended up in arbitration. In the end, thanks to Liz and her team, I received everything in the arbitration we had asked for and deemed fair. I was at my wit's end when I came to Liz, having never experienced such a challenging dispute. Liz picked up the reins and became the game changer. She created peace where there was war -- and dialogue where there were only insults and threats. Liz handled herself and my representation with the utmost grace, calm and logic -- always communicating with total integrity and working strategically towards a win-win outcome. Her intelligence, expertise and wisdom are what caused the other side to shift and be willing to compromise, and what progressed a long, tedious battle towards resolution. She and her team even worked through Thanksgiving and Christmas to make sure everything was filed on time and communicated with accuracy. She is one of the most brilliant, gracious people I've ever met and I recommend her wholeheartedly. I only wished I had sought her legal protection and expertise right away as opposed to wasting time and much money with other less experienced and effective representation. She literally saved my neck and I'm eternally grateful to her. I'm also greatly inspired by her as a human being. Most recently she and her team have helped me to launch my start-up, expertly handling initial agreements and securing trademark approval.

I've used Toya Gavin for various legal issues varying from helping with small business formation to incidents in court where I was a defendant. Toya has always proven her expertise & skill, displayed with an uncanny prowess that is needed in the court of law. For example, I was unfairly prosecuted for violating a conditional discharge for a traffic matter. Toya first reassured me of my rights, sticking to the facts to comfort me in my position as the defendant. She then used her contacts to skillfully build a solid defense in efforts to submit a motion that would be favorable in my regard. Her quick thinking and attentiveness is the reason that I was able to prove my innocence, and her defense in my honor was nothing short of impeccable. I highly recommend Toya in any matter where a truly skilled professional is needed.

I had a unique case where my belongings were removed from my apt and disposed of. Fanny Mae forclosed on my Landlord and while I was out of town, an extremely arrogant Realtor went in two weeks before I had to be out and in one day trashes most of my belongings. Without so much as a phone call and when confronted without remorse. Every attorney I called didn't seem interested or sympathetic I guess they figured there wasn't enough in it for them to be bothered. And then there's Mark A Goodman! Ironically the last name says it all. When I told Mark my situation, He was not only sympathetic but he seemed genuinely interested in correcting the injustice that I had been going through. Trying to recoup monies for used belongings that any Records or receipts were thrown out along with the items seemed like quite a daunting task. He explained everything in detail every decision was made by me with Mark's guidance and professional opinions. Arming me with the information I needed to make good sound decisions. Without having to go to court we got what we were after. we were awarded a fair settlement. Mark A Goodman bravely marched... where other attorneys fear to tread.

The landlords of the home I had rented for 4 years put the house on the market while I was still living there. I endured 2 invasive open houses where I was asked to vacate the premised as well as required to make the home presentable. When the home entered escrow, construction to shore up the foundation ensued. The foundation work required a crew of 4 to crawl under the one story cabin to dig out dirt. They started at 7:00 in the morning. I caught one of the laborer looking up from a hole in the floor in my bathroom, feces were left in my backyard as well as a pervasive urine smell. This went on for 3 weeks. The landlord did not reduce my rent or compensate me for this disturbance or my time. Nor did they intend to pay relocation costs when the house was sold and I was evicted. Mr. Fraser was able to secure $5,000 relocation fees and free rent for my last harrowing month in the home as well as full refund of my rent deposit and a little extra for my pain and suffering. This allowed me the means to relocate without further stress.

I recommended them to several friends and I get amazing feedback from them as well and they are all very thankful for my recommendation.

Chris provides excellent corporate legal support to my small business as we continue to grow and are faced with new challenges. He has been instrumental in providing excellent review, recommended changes, and providing content for our employee agreements, consulting agreements, and contracts/subcontracts. He turns our documents around quickly and with great input. His reviews and feedback have enabled us to 'tighten up' our agreements to avoid future litigation and ambiguity to protect our employees and company. We don't have internal corporate counsel due to our size, but Chris has essentially served in that capacity for us and has protected our interest and future as a result of his actions.
