Hired Attorney Robert Xides Jr.

I recommend Mr. Xides to anyone looking for a great attorney. I consulted with him about a real estate transaction. His knowledge and expertise were obvious from the first conversation, where he offered alternatives I had not considered and explained the reasoning behind them concisely. He was very easy to communicate with, returning phone calls and emails promptly. He is friendly, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for his clients.

Business Formation

Hired Law Firm

We needed help writing an operating agreement for our LLC that went from a sole-proprietor LLC to a three person partnership. Rob Xides was very helpful in crafting the agreement, and getting us to think about things we didn't think about on our own. He also helped us to feel confident in setting up the operating agreement with terms that worked for us, and he didn't necessarily try to coerce us into typical attorney-like contracts. He was very understanding of our goals for our partnership.

Estate Litigation

Hired Law Firm

I called this law firm in regards to a very complex estate matter I am dealing with. The lawyer who spoke to me told me that he was having a bad day and did not want to take my case. He was very rude. I would not recommend using this law firm.
