Blaine Cartlidge

Blaine has demonstrated the breadth and depth of his abilities as my attorney for several decades. From small corporate matters to contracts and negotiations, residential and commercial real estate, landlord-tenant, a revocable trust and powers of attorney, asset preservation, and lawsuits for and ag...ainst me and my businesses, Blaine proved over and again his competency, dedication and responsiveness. There's not one thing I would not take to Blaine for legal and tactical advice. He makes me feel like mine is the only case that is important to him and works diligently until it is complete.

A Respectful, Thorough, Knowledgeable and Respnsive Lawyer

Blaine has been my lawyer for 3+ years, during which time he has worked on numerous business contracts and governmental cooperative agreements. He is an extremely thorough advocate who works diligently on his client's behalf. He has a great depth of knowledge in civil law and, when needed, will seek ...out new information and come up to speed quickly - e.g., he quickly learned software as a service and cloud computing for software contracts he was working on for me. He is a quiet but strong negotiator and got the end game done for me. Blaine is extremely responsive and is able to juggle multiple cases and clients such that each one feels supported and important. I know he had many other cases when I was his client, but he always met deadlines and kept me appropriately updated. I highly recommend him.

Great Attorney

My wife and I hired Mr. Cartlidge to prepare a new will and family trust. He is very competent and knowledgeable, explaining the tax law and complexities in a way we can understand. We are very satisfied and pleased that we hired him. We will now use him to help us with a real estate transaction.

Estate Planning

After my husband and I had our first child, we consulted Blaine to help us secure his future. He was very patient amd helpful in guiding us through the estate planning process, which had so mamy options that it would've been an overwhelming experience without some help. He wasn't pushy at all, but li...stened to our needs and encouraged us make decisions that were best for our family. Blaine was always a quick email or phone call away and very prompt in getting back to us. We'll be retaining him for all our future attorney needs.
