Funderburg Law is Phenomenal

Quality service

After months of tireless search for a credible attorney in the state of Georgia, one whose knowledge includes small business startup and registered agents, I found Attorney Lerae Funderburg. As a branding agent, I wanted to provide my client with the services he deserved-given that this would be ...his first big endeavor in this area. After my initial contact, Attorney Funderburg immediately responded to my email and within seconds, we arranged a 15 mins phone conference to discuss my client’s needs and ways in which she would be able to assist. Our business officially started on September 18 and less than a month later, we had a registered business and a registered agent-Attorney Funderburg- who readily made herself available to answer all business inquires and calls-even while on vacation. This past week, my client and I sat down with Attorney Funderburg for a meeting, beyond the standard email and phone conversations, and let’s just say that her warmth, attention to details, drive, commitment, and compassion for clients showed from her greeting to the very end of the face-to-face meeting. On behalf of my client and I, we highly recommend the services offered by Attorney Funderburg, to any small business owner desiring quality service and attention to your startup needs. Thank you, Attorney Funderburg, this is only the beginning of a budding business relationship and we indeed look forward to conducting more business transactions with your firm.

Lerae is an awesome attorney! I have consulted with her personally on multiple cases, and have witnessed her diligence and expertise up close. She will treat your case with the utmost care. She is my go to referral for entertainment, estate, and business law matters.

Amazing

This was by far the best legal consultation I’ve ever received. Ms Funderberg was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. I felt comfortable in her advising me. I’d recommend her legal expertise to anyway seeking professional fast results.

Very Helpful! Excellent service

I was in the early stages of starting my own event planning business and I was unsure how I should get started. Lerae was able to guide me with the beginning stages and assist me with a service contract to protect myself against liability from my clients. I love the format of the contract because it’...s written so clearly so my clients and I understand the expectations from the start. It has made business run so much smoother for me and a lot easier for my clients!
