Legal Services - personal and for our company

Mr. de Carion has been a dependable resource for our family and for our business for many years. His knowledge of the law and experience in the real world as a business person make him a highly valuable asset as we deal with the challenging situations, people and business we sometimes face. * He ...has helped us establish appropriate business structure for our micro-business; facilitated consideration of the pros and cons of different organizational structures. * He has guided us through various governmental regulations, required reporting, and responses to governmental inquiries. * He has reviewed elements and guided us in several real estate transactions. * He helped us defend against the rare claim by a business partner when situations turned bad. His counsel regarding the legal system has been invaluable. * He has represented our business and family by communicating on our behalf to entities and individuals who were trying to take advantage of us; always with a positive outcome. * His follow up and follow through are always good and timely. * He communicates clearly, maintains a sense of humor; and is reliably pleasant. * He is hands-on; never bureaucratic. * He is patient with our limited knowledge of legal considerations, never hesitant to explain and/or elaborate on request.

Great attorney!

David de Carion was recommended to me by someone who worked for him. That person had worked for a number of attorneys and said that Mr. de Carion's work ethic was beyond reproach; that he immediately began working on each case and that all paperwork was filed in a timely manner and I could be confid...ent that my legal matters would be in good hands. He has attended to my real estate and personal legal issues since 2001 and I have and will continue to utilize his services. I highly recommend David de Carion.

The Best!

Dave DeCarion is in a class by himself...he's the best, period!

Recently I hired Dave to construct a lease/purchase option agreement for a home I wanted to sell. I had been referred to him by one of his clients who assured me that he was totally professional and really knew his stuff. My initial contact with Dave was exactly what I was looking for. He gave me a... sense of confidence and trust from the very beginning and took the needed time to listen to my concerns and questions. I found Dave to be super thorough, professional, and knowledgable in every step of the process. He put together the agreement in a timely manner and I thought it turned out exactly as he had promised. Dave DeCarion did a great job for me and he was a real pleasure to work with. I will definitely use Dave for any contractual agreements in the future and I highly recommend his services. He is a total pro and a person you can put your trust in to get the job done right!
