Benjamin Calkins

Ben Calkins represented our firm with a very difficult business asset purchase. The seller was not motivated, difficult to work with and changed the agreement quite a few times adding two or three extra months to close the deal. Ben remained calm but more important kept me calm and balanced throughou...t the entire process. I will enlist Ben’s help for our next acquisition.

Some lawyers just understand the nuances of employment and partnership agreements. I trust Ben Calkins to provide exceptional contract agreements, and I have worked with his firm on multiple occasions to safeguard my assets and intellectual property in complex ventures. Most notably, Ben orchestra...ted a partnership agreement that protected my book of clients, livelihood, and equity as part of a three-thirds partnership. This agreement brought together three unique design firms and their LLC’s together, operating under one new brand moniker. As things go, I elected to move on with my own firm, after a number of high growth and volatile years for the joint venture. Ben's foresight not only guaranteed I could clearly navigate a buyout and settlement with my partners — it set the stage for future prosperity and integrity in the marketplace. For good reason, I continue to recommend and turn to Mr. Calkins for both entrepreneurial and legal counsel. What’s even better? Ben treats you like an important member of the community, like family — with respect, kindness and patience. He sets the bar for how more lawyers should practice law… truly for the good of all.

I live in Canada and needed counsel to defend my real estate management business against a lawsuit brought in Ohio. What initially drew my attention to Calkins Law Firm was the excellent education, top ratings and hands on experience of the attorneys. Something I need to point out is that Ben was th...e only attorney that picked up the phone (I had called three or four more). Our first conversation was very cordial and that´s when I realized that I wanted to work with this firm. I recommend Calkins Law Firm to any business person in need of excellent business counsel and can say, after working with Ben and members of his team, that they provide genuine expertise, excellent client service and cost effective representation for their clients.

I live in Pennsylvania, and I needed to retain an Ohio lawyer to assist with my Ohio real estate transactions. I chose Calkins Law Firm because of its top rating, well educated and highly experienced business attorneys. Both of our transactions closed timely and on favorable terms. I would highly ...recommend Ben Calkins and the Calkins Law Firm. I look forward to using them again for our Ohio business attorney needs.

I've engaged Ben a number of times over the past several years to provide advice on business and contract issues. When I recently sold my business, I relied on Ben’s excellent legal advice re the technicalities of the deal. Just as importantly, his astute business advice re available options and al...ternatives enabled us to resolve the differences between the parties, while ensuring my needs were met. Ben’s acumen in both legal and business issues is always on point and his calm, professional demeanor, even when his clients might be a bit frazzled over some issue, is a definite plus. I highly recommend Ben as legal counsel to help with any business transaction.
