Barton E. DeBolt

Bart DeBolt is top-notch. He provided excellent guidance for my company in compliance, filings and general counsel. He had a strong base of knowledge from prior experience that served us well. He also researched thoroughly any new issues, to afford the best balance possible between legal protection a...nd aggressive business practices. I highly recommend Mr. DeBolt; he is one of the finest thinkers in the business.

We hired Mr. Debolt to help us with very complicated contracts and negotiations related to our business acquisition in Newbury Park, CA. He was very accommodating when I contacted him by telephone and dropped off the documents. At our first meeting, it was obvious that he had a strong background and... knowledge base, and he asked incisive questions about the industry and made notes so that he could better understand our business practices. He pulled the stack of contracts and exhibits from his briefcase, and every page had been thoroughly reviewed and diligently marked with his handwritten notations. He remarked about the language in the contracts as if he had memorized them. He explained his comments and concerns in understandable terms, as well as the pros/cons and ramifications of negotiating each issue. We had several meetings to review changes and revisions. He was always personable and engaging, and also laser-focused on producing the best outcome for us. I am grateful that we got the deal done our way, in a short period of time, negotiating successfully for better terms, and without inciting unimportant quarrels. He is a top-notch professional with no ego but all the chops, and it gives us tremendous confidence to have him in our corner for all future business transactions and negotiations. I would highly recommend that other business and property owners do the same. Absolutely impressed.

Mr. Debolt was amazing to work with. I hired him to assist with the litigation that resulted from a disputed estate I was the executor of. He thoroughly and diligently researched the details of my case using the paperwork I provided from the estate. He was a buffer between the opposing lawyer and I w...hen the case became heated. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a lawyer for litigation purposes. Thank you.
