He immediately understood my needs and provided me with a detailed explanation of the process I was about to embark on. Louise took the time to listen attentively, which significantly eased my initial anxiety about buying a business. His professional demeanor made me feel safe and protected throughout the entire transaction. His estimation of the time commitment was spot on, demonstrating his expertise and reliability.

    We were very fortunate to have found Lou at the 11th hour of negotiations after a conflict with our previous attorney.  Lou did a great job on a fairly complicated asset purchase agreement.  He was super communicative with us and really tenacious in protecting our interests.  He's smart and tough and doesn't waste anyone's time. We were so pleased we will continue to use him for all future legal issues.

    Owner/Member Mr. Russo was incredibly helpful and diligent representing my interests as I went through the process of selling my small business. The process was long and very complicated as my business was part of a franchise. Mr. Russo was instrumental to negotiating with all the related parties and helped get the deal over the line when the buyers was being difficult.

    The recent sale of my business required entrusting my personal motivations and goals to an attorney that would protect the enterprise and elevate its commensurate value. Mr. Russo fulfilled that need with precision and was directly responsible for navigating a greater multiple beyond my expectations. During the entire process there were no wasted efforts, only precision. Mr. Russo’s attentive levels of communication were immediate and refined. Establishing a bond during a transaction of this nature can be stressful and anxiety producing. Mr. Russo has a high emotional quotient that goes beyond his expertise. It doesn’t take long to know that he is invested in you and not just the transaction
