Efficient, highly communicative, knowledgeable and overall they are hard working and take into account every detail of your case and of how the laws can help.

I would just like to say Jacob and team are a phenomenal group of people! Jacob to the time to set down with me and go over all the details of the case and even gave me a ton of advice, before ever speaking to me about the cost. I will look to them now and the future to represent my business.

He has excellent communication skills ensuring that we knew exactly what was happening and kept us up to date every step of the way. We had an excellent outcome and recommend him highly and will use him again if needed.

Hired Attorney Mark A. Walsh

Mark has comprehensive knowledge in the areas of construction law, real estate and business. He handled a complex personal legal dispute I had with a contractor and negotiated a settlement in my favor that included post judgment collection costs. Mark also handled setting up a new LLC for me. When I need expert legal advice, Mark is the first person I call. He is smart, strategic, and focused on providing the best service possible.

I recently used Saunders, Walsh & Beard to help me with updating my estate planning. Matthew Duke was the attorney I worked with to accomplish the planning. Matt led me through my options and provided the information I needed to decide how I wanted to proceed. I now have the documentation that well reflects our discussions. The process was very smooth and everyone at Saunders, Walsh & Beard was extremely helpful. I previously used Saunders, Walsh & Beard with a personal injury case. They were a godsend and helped me through a difficult time.

Chapman Bauerlein represented me in an employment compensation case. He was though and diligent throughout the process and lead us to a very favorable outcome. I would want Chapman to represent me in any type of business law case.

Hired Law Firm

My experience with the Law Firm was great ad enjoyable. Attorney Saunders thoroughly explained the process, projected costs, and time frame to resolve my case. Also, he assigned competent highly skilled Associate Attorneys (Haley Heinrich and Skye Mileger) to reduce costs. Their Team along with Rosemary Weiland navigated me through the Court , and across the finish line for a Court Victory. Moreover, I was very impressed with the Law Firm's professionalism, kindness, expertise, integrity, and personal touch extended to me even though I resided (miles away) in California. I highly recommend this Great Law Firm to others. John L. Giles

 
Response from Saunders, Walsh & Beard

Jacob helped us navigate the relationship with our builder that allowed our construction timeline to get back on track without having to sue. We would not have been able to complete the building of our home without Jacob's advice and guidance.
