Very Knowledgeable, Highly Recommended!

I retained Ramsdell & Riffin, LLP to do all of the legal work necessary to form and organize my start-up company. They skillfully prepared all of the required documents, including the Articles of Organization, by-laws, operating agreement and stock issuance certificates, and consistently communicated... to myself and the other founders the meaning and purpose of the terms of each document. Also, they diligently reviewed all potential liabilities that my company could encounter, including any potential defamation claims and copyright infringement claims, and carefully protected my company from those liabiilties. Craig Ramsdell and Max Riffin were very knowledgeable about corporate formation issues, responded to any questions immediately and were a pleasure to work with.

I recommend Ramsdell & Riffin, LLP!

My husband and I retained Ramsdell & Riffin, LLP to prepare and negotiate the Purchase and Sale Agreement and other agreements associated with the purchase of our condo. Because buying our first condo was such a huge and important investment, I was naturally anxious about the closing process. Howev...er, my anxiety quickly waned once we retained Ramsdell & Riffin. Craig Ramsdell and Max Riffin skillfully guided us through the closing process, ensured that our rights were protected to the fullest extent and kept us informed at every stage of the process. I couldn't have been happier with our representation.

New age law firm!

I retained Ramsdell & Riffin, LLP to prepare all of the documentations and filings necessary to start my business. Not only was their work of the highest quality, but they were a pleasure to work with, always available, and always communicated what work they were performing and their reasons for per...forming that work. I would recommend that any new business retain Ramsdell & Riffin, LLP!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
