Posted by Robert | September 19, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Business

Comstock Consulting, LLC

I have an engineering consulting business that began very small, almost as if doing a favor for a friend. The business grew, and I realized that my actions and results could affect millions of dollars for my clients, and therefore put me in a situation of high liability. I looked around for legal hel...p, first contacting lawyers through friends. I was not thrilled with responses. So I began a search and found Elizabeth's law firm focused on helping small businesses get started. From the very beginning, she was proactive in helping me through the legal steps. She appreciated that I knew nothing about the legalities, and patiently took me through the options, explaining the pros and cons of them all. After deciding to go with a LLC, she quickly produced the necessary legal documents, and filed my application within days. She kept me up to date on status, and provided me with a very professional notebook containing copies of all the documents, with signatures. She has been responsive to my follow up questions and requests for clarification, and therefore helped with the 'human factors' portions of the process, as well as the legal factors. The entire process was promptly and properly completed, and I am the proud owner of a now incorporated company.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
