A Knowledgeable, Dedicated, and Well-Prepared Professional - Exceptional Work

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.

Thorough and knowledgeable

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.

negotations with a company sale gone bad

I landed a heap of file on Barton's desk, seeking help with a person to whom I had sold my company.I signed these papers while my wife was dying ( she died just this week) and I was under a lot of stress. Barton was amazing in how he handled all the complications, not to mention me being an emotiona...l basket case. He was patient, compassionate and brilliant. With his guidance I made all the right moves and, basically, escape a legal nightmare. I could not imagine a lawyer doing a better job on an extremely complicated case.

Review of Mr. Barton Debolt

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.

"I endorse this lawyer. Barton is a powerful resource for his clients. He cares about his clients and it shows in his work."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"If you want a lawyer that looks at the big picture and doesn't waste time with unnecessary discovery or motions -- and that's exactly what you SHOULD want -- then Bart is your man. By thinking ahead to the final resolution of the case instead of just looking as far as the next court appearance, Bart keeps his eye on the ball and is not distracted by petty squabbles that arise along the way, I can tell you from being involved in two cases with Bart that he has the lawyer's equivalent of what we called in the Marine Corps, "presence of mind" -- the skill to remain cool, make good decisions, and direct the action in the heat of combat."
