Stephen H Leasia

Steve has helped me over 12 years with two technology businesses. One has grown dramatically and the other is new and just getting started. With both companies Steve has consistently provided expert legal assistance that is practical, fast and cost efficient. He handles incorporation documents, st...ructure and founding agreements all the way through contracts, intellectual property and employment contracts. He has a broad experience based perspective and is just great to work with. He gets to know your business and so is like a in-house corporate legal department at a fraction of the cost.

I started working with Stephen when my start-up was just forming and wanting to incorporate. I've been working with him now for over 5 years. He is extremely knowledgeable, practical, experienced and professional. He explains things clearly. He responds in a timely way and does a great job of setting... expectations about timelines and availability. And, he's really nice, which isn't something you can say about every lawyer, frankly. He has helped my company with a variety of matters including incorporation, partner agreements, M&A discussions, contract negotiations with the federal government and major players in health insurance and media/internet advertising, changes in leadership, stock option agreements and Terms of Use. Though my company is young and just getting started, I knew Stephen was a great choice for the longer term, too. He has deep experience working with larger, mature companies and successfully navigating complex legal situations for them. His advice is sound, trustworthy and well thought out. He always operates with integrity and is very down to to earth. All in all, he is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is absolutely trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable.

I recently needed legal advice for my small company. Steve helped me navigate business decisions from a legal perspective and develop practical and efficient solutions. His in-depth working knowledge of small businesses and his experience with all kinds of issues, gives me multiple options and ways ...to tackle the matters at hand. Steve also provides access to a valuable network of other professionals in the community to assist with financial advice, business valuation, and business taxes. Steve’s strongest assets are his level-headedness, calm demeanor, experience, and integrity. I value Steve’s legal support and I will continue to use him as my small business lawyer. I recommend him highly to anyone who needs legal assistance for their company.

Steve provides excellent general counsel across a wide range of corporate matters. In addition to his insightful and astute legal opinions, he always brings an appreciated practicality to any discussion. Steve always starts with understanding what's best for the business, then proceeds to construct...ing the appropriate legal course of action. Steve is one of the best lawyers I've dealt with over my years in the technology industry.

Four years ago, we were in need of an attorney who could advise us on issues affecting our small business. We were introduced to Stephen Leasia, and have been thankful for that introduction ever since. Steve has advised us on matters related to corporate restructuring, contracts, government relations... and human resources, among topics. In all of our discussions, Steve has been great to work with. He is accessible, knowledgeable and explains issues in terms that are easy to understand. He works efficiently, so his services are affordable for us. Working with Steve feels like calling a friend for advice (if your friend had expertise in small business law). We would highly recommend Stephen Leasia to other small owners.
