Mr. Barnes, Owner

This is our second time to retain Mr. Schuyler's services for the sale of a business. He did such a excellent job the first time we worked with him that I reached out him for my second business transaction. We trust him completely with handling our business transactions because of his integrity, honesty, knowledge, professionalism, patience and kindness. Whenever I contacted him about any questions, etc., Mr. Schuyler always responded. I highly recommend him to help anyone that needs a great attorney.

Prompt, sound advice on Residential Multifamily Property Acquisition

Posted by

We contacted Mr. Reidel to assist with a residential real estate acquisition. The project took much longer than expected but Schuyler was with us every step of the way. He provided sound legal advice, was very responsive to our needs and more importantly, considered our preferences in the decision making process. We felt that Schuyler always had our best interest in mind. Compared to other attorneys and firms we have used in the past, Schuyler Reidel would get two thumbs up from us and we would definitely consider asking for his help again in the future.

Setting up a Texas Series LLC the right way

Posted by

We used Reidel Law Firm to set up a Series LLC for our property rental and management business. Schuyler was super easy to work with, and responded quickly to the myriad of questions we had along the way, making the whole process go very smoothly. His guidance made sure we did this right for maximum asset protection (I had no idea we'd need a 'ground lease' between the property management cell and each property cell - this is where professional help pays off!). Highly recommended.

Schuyler assisted us in the negotiation of a Franchise Agreement. His explanations of the various terms and risks were clear and concise. He provided recommendations in the drafting of the Agreement . As a result of working with Schuyler we are very confident that we reached an excellent agreement with our Franchisor.

Schuyler assisted me with the LLC formation. He gave a clear communication and clearly explained his legal advice. He replied to all emails quickly and all his answers are very clear and to the point of questions. He was thorough, detailed, carefully and patiently explained all my inquires in the operating agreement.
