This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Clear and concise

Jeff helped me out with my specific questions and did not load me up with a bunch of legalese jargon that I could not understand. After talking with Jeff I was able to do what I needed and quickly based on our conversation.

Excellent legal advice from a lawyer who gets it!

Jeff has been very helpful to my business by reviewing and offering legal advice that aided my firm in shedding risk and providing contract review that lead to successful contract awards. With a great understanding of construction and contract law, his insight and experience helped me negotiate from ...a better position. With a background in business and being an engineer as well, he was a perfect fit for us. He's my go to guy for legal support as well as just bouncing some business ideas off of.

Help with Incorporation

We needed help with the incorporation of our small organization. Being that there is little legal knowledge within the members of our group, we felt uneasy about making sure the process was not only done correctly, but that the bylaws were written to reflect the mission of the organization. Mr. Ama...son expertly guided us through each and every step. He thoroughly researched the language used by similar groups to provide different examples to us to make sure that we were comfortable with what was being filed. Mr. Amason takes the time to listen to your concerns, factor in all the variables, then patiently explain what all the options are - including what he considers (based on his vast experience) is the best course of action.
