I had the pleasure of working with Joanne Hicks on a TRO case. This could have potentially damaged my professional reputation and resulted in termination from my job. She made me feel at ease and came up with a strategy for my case. The TRO was dissolved thanks to her. She handled negotiations with the other side with skill and showed compassion to the other side which ultimately lead to a favorable outcome for me. I recommend her highly for any legal issue

Sean handled estate property probate and transfer in a professional and time effective manner for us. The process was very smooth even given we are not Florida residents and needed this to be handled without our presence.

In my view Attorney Sean D. K. Scott is a gentleman and a compassionate counselor, who is very well informed in the matters relative to estate planning. Upon the recommendation of an old and dear friend of ours, my wife and I sought Sean's services to help us develop our estate plans, which included the design and drafting of trusts, wills, living wills, powers of attorney, etc. From the beginning of the process to the finalization of all documentations, we found working with Sean to be a pleasurable experience. He did a great job for us, and we would highly recommend him to others seeking similar help.

I had Attorney Sean Scott as a Business Law professor in school and knew he practiced what he taught. Some business partners and I started a company and I knew that we would be moving headquarters from the DC beltway area to Florida. I immediately contacted Sean and he was eager to help and come on board as our legal counsel. Instead of "going through the motions" he wanted to know as much about the company as possible. When someone asks me for information in the amount of a glass of water, I tend to open up a fire hose worth of information. He never rushed me and asked more questions to better establish the structure, organization, vision, and strategy of the company, so he could best identify how to set-up our company structure in Florida. He has incorporated our company, and created/drafted documents in our record book (articles, minutes, membership units, changes to our registrations and ownership, operating agreements, buy-sell agreements, special meetings, dissociations, power of attorneys, certificates of incumbency, purchase agreements, security agreements, etc.). He has also reviewed contracts, NDAs, teaming agreements, and non-compete/non-circumvent agreements.
I hired Mr. Scott originally to re-incorporate our company in Florida, but as our business model solidified it was apparent we would be needing an on-call legal counsel. Sean transitioned with ease and took on the added workload. He has always communicated promptly and thoroughly, and has never rushed off the phone during a call. He prioritizes efficiently and if something is going to take a little bit longer, he calls or emails with the reason for any delay and when the expected time of completion would be. We are a small business and nothing we have had to address is "urgent" so we told Mr. Scott from the beginning that if other more important work comes up, just let us know and we will be more than happy to take a back seat. We understand we are not his only client and are understanding of the dynamic legal practice environment.
I would highly recommend Sean Scott for any business law questions, concerns, or legal services. He is honest (rare in the business), detailed, and diligent. I loathe not being kept in communications, and Sean has been in constant contact throughout our business relationship. I have worked with other firms and they stand by the "no news is good news" motto which to me causes concern and anxiety when dealing with legal matters. I am glad for once I hit the jackpot for our legal representation needs.

Jim Geiger has 40 years of wisdom and experience. He is a straight shooter, no nonsense and lets get down to business. He does NOT milk the clock, he gives reference points in relation to advice on what has worked and what has not worked in the past. He is respectful and listened to our concerns, questions and has a great way of communicating legal jargon in a layman's terms. Mr Geiger came highly recommended as a top notch lawyer from the President of the Maui Chamber of Commerce. He was more than fair on his pricing and becuase he is so good, skilled and experienced at what he does the "clock" on time charged was even less time. We highly recommend this lawyer for any type of business needs. We used him for a security agreement, promissory note, funding agreement and we will continue to use him for strategy was not listed as his speciality he nailed it.

We all want a shark (or Lion) to represent us in legal matters. When so much is at stake you want someone who will fight aggressively for your interests. Erin Lowenthal does that but she has found a way to balance that with kindness and compassion. Her warmth and competency permeates the culture in her office and has attracted an excellent staff as well. I had the pleasure of working closely with Lilli and Sheenah who always operated at the highest standards. Lowenthal and Lowenthal has EARNED my full confidence and faith. The people of Maui are lucky to have such a competent, knowledgeable, well-run law office.
I recommend Lowenthal and Lowenthal without reservations. I hope I never need them again, but if I do, my representation will be an easy choice.
