Commercial Lease Negotiations

We are a small business that enjoyed the services of Donald Oder when we negotiated our first commercial lease. The lease used a standard AIR form, but had a 20+ page addendum. Mr. Oder began by learning what was important to us as business owners. Then, he reviewed both documents in detail and (1) m...ade sure our sticking points were addressed, (2) made recommendations on where to negotiate further and (3) pointed out clauses that would be important for us to be aware of as tenants. We went through 3-4 rounds of revisions with the landlord and throughout it all, we felt that Oder made us a high priority, was thorough, and always represented our interests. He also helped us strategically decide which items to "fight" and which to compromise on. We were thankful to have Oder's expert advice. We were new to this process, but having Oder in our corner made us feel more confident and less stressed. I highly recommend Oder to other small businesses. His prices are reasonable and his work is excellent.
