This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Use only the best.

Mr. Waite and Nancy Levy have been wonderful to us. We have opened a very small rental store and they have helped us step by step through the entire process, and continue to do so as we come across new ideas.

Confident with the work he did

Mr. Waite totally redesigned my rental contract agreement. He was extremely knowledgeable about the industry and details of the areas of concern.

Business Contracts

James is known in the rental industry as the guy who knows rental contracts. He has been around our industry and knows the legal terminology and loopholes that rental owners often overlook. I have talked to many rental owners who have used James to write their contracts. Because of referrals of my fr...iends in the industry and his speaking assignments in our association. I chose James to write my contracts and advise me in protecting my business from possible litigation issues. James is known across the country due to his educating owners of the importance of protecting their business assets and avoiding litigation issues. I enjoyed working with James and the professionalism he showed.

Super Helpful

Spoke with James Waite in regards to a contract dispute, he was referred to me by a friend. He took the time to look things over then referred me to another attorney in Minneapolis since the contract had to be that could better assist in this matter. The contract was written under Minnesota Law. app...reciated the fact that he cared enough to help me the best he could, even though he didn't make any money from it.

Contract assistance

Mr. Waite was very helpful with our rental contract revisions. I found him to be very accessible, gave me the time I needed to completely understand the process and answered all of my questions thoroughly.
