    Review Lawrence Vergun

    Consultation Leads to Ongoing Relationship

    Posted by

    I met with Mr. Vergun for a half hour consultation as a result of a referral by the Oregon State Bar. I spoke with him by phone and emailed ahead of time of my areas of concern regarding a small business I am starting. There was technical statutory research that needed to be done for several questions. When we met, his answers were thorough and specific to my questions; however, he also provided related information that he thought might be helpful, and it was. I felt comfortable with him and confident in his knowledge. I expect to need more legal advice through the next year, and I intend to stay with Mr. Vergun as my counsel.

    solid lawyer

    What Larry lacks in hair, he makes up for in intellectual genius. I have had Larry work on many of the business dealings our company has been involved with. He is easy to work with, fast at returning my calls, and getting down to the brass tacks of what I need. His intelligence and experience make him a goldmine of legal advice. I'd trust him with anything I have on my legal plate.

    To the point, quickly

    Larry is a good listener and asks the important questions first. He seems to know the shortest path from my problem to a great solution (gets results faster and for less money), and he explains his reasoning well. I always go to Larry first for explanations of complex legal issues, and he's always got a clear answer.
