Del Potter

I have worked with Del Potter on many occasions on various real estate and legal matters. very professional and prompt in my dealings. I have recommended many times.

Easement

Del Potter looks out for his clients. Let me explain... I recently purchase a new home along with the adjoining lots. I asked for Del Potter to handle the closing and paperwork as I have dealt with his office numerous times in the past and have always been 100% satisfied. Before the closing day M...r. Potter found a concern with the easement on the survey. I am not sure anyone else would have picked up on such detail except for Mr.Potter. What seemed to be a minor difference in survey easements could have resulted future nightmares with inaccurate survey measurements. I appreciate his attention to detail on this matter. I highly trust and recommend Del Potter for any attorney services as he will always have your back.

An extraordinarily personable and competent attorney

Mr. Potter is both my personal attorney as well as being the ex officio General Counsel for our large and active church. As such, he is regularly consulted on legal matters involving an extensive range of subjects: estate issues, trust planning, wills & testaments, residential and commercial property... matters and financial planning. Although it is readily apparent that Mr. Potters training and experience have resulted in being a thoughtful and brilliant attorney, in our conversations he is quite adept at condensing a great deal of legalese into information that is both understandable and useful to the client. It is a rare combination to find a professional who is both expert in their field, and yet personable in their demeanor. Del Potter is just such an individual and he cannot come too highly recommended.

Excellent

Del Potter has represented me in a complex series of corporate formations and real estate transactions over the course of 10 years. Throughout the entire process, which included successful defense of a harassment lawsuit (and recovery of attorney's fees against the plaintiff), Mr. Potter has been ex...tremely effective, reliable and professional. He has developed true expertise accross a broad range of legal specialties and can provide insight into virtually any business, or even personal, matter. Perhaps most impressive is that his accumulated wisdom comes with extraordinary calm and patience. Del will tell you what he thinks in a direct, accurate and respectful manner. This man is an excellent lawyer.

Del Potter

Mr. Potter is well-versed and extremely competent in real estate and probate matters as well as mediation. He is a very good listener and has the ability to relate to clients and put them at ease. I have found in numerous consultations that he has great judgment in both legal and business decisions....
