We were referred to Arman Tasheneff by a mutual friend from Kazakhstan, the same country that Mr. Tasheneff is from for a corporate formation in Kazakhstan and legal advice related to import and export business in his homeland. We were impressed that he graduated from a good law school, but were sur...prised that he was not with a reputable firm as is typical for first year lawyers. We soon realized that Mr. Tasheneff has a strong speech impediment, and is unable to communicate. Although we are sympathetic to his illness and admire his achievement, we had a difficult time speaking, and his communication via email was generally clear but irregular. We thought that he was effective in organizing the corporation, but lacked in practical legal knowledge, and was very student-like in his approach to our immediate needs. We think that although his skills are highly limited and hourly rates too high, he will become a good corporate lawyer in the future. For now, we would not hire him again until he matures as an attorney.
