Donald Christian Review

Donald Christian has helped us with two legal issues. The firs involved an incident with a car that was loaned to someone and the car was wrecked. Don took my call on a Saturday and provided very clear and understandable direction on how to handle the situation. We followed his direction and resol...ved the situation without any further problems. Don not only provided sound direction but was a calm reassuring voice in a very stressful situation. Don also prepared Wills for my wife and I. The Wills were prepared in a very professional and expedient manor via email. We did not have to go into his office except to sign the final Wills.

Extraordinary level of legal expertise, competency, professionalism and ethical standards.

Mr. Christian quickly recognized the urgency of my need to organize a new business. I was very surprised at the speed with which my needs were met. At one point I decided to change the structure of the business which required Legal expertise and knowledge of the most current IRS requirements, Mr. ...Christian handled it as if it was nothing. I always felt as if Mr. Christian knew my next question before I asked it and he was always able to answer/explain in a way I could understand. I was never made to feel uncomfortable and was constantly surprised at his extraordinary level of legal knowledge. Calling a Attorney was not something I looked forward to even though I knew I had to. I felt like the fees were reasonable considering all that was done and the amount of time I saved. Thank You so much

Thanks for the kind words. I work hard to counsel clients and guide them through the process of forming a new business. I have a sense for what can go wrong and do my best to help you avoid the same mistakes that so many others have made. When forming a new business entity the two most important professionals to consult are a lawyer and an accountant. Donald Christian
