Posted by Emily | May 28, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Contracts & Agreements

Most decent lawyer I ever met.

Stacia is honest, and generous with her time and attention. I worked with her on two separate contractual issues I ran into. She helped me design a contract for my business, and counseled me on getting out of a contract which I was in. She was dedicated, responsive, and very knowledgable and I had po...sitive results in both instances. She was extremely thorough along the way and gave great advice. I highly recommend working with her.

Thank you, Emily, for your nice words. I enjoyed working with you and am glad we worked through those contractual issues together. Always sending my best.

Knowledgeable and responsive!

My husband and I own a small business that we took over from my in-laws and needed some help rewriting our contracts. Stacia took the time to get to know our company and help us make sure we had a thorough and updated contract that covered so many things we had failed to think about before. She was g...reat at communicating with us and made sure we understood everything. She was a pleasure to work with and we will be using her in the future for any legal needs! Highly recommend!

Excellent consultation

Incredibly knowledgeable and put everything in layman’s terms. Even though my case wasn’t the sort of law she directly practices, she gave me incredible guidance and insight as to what my options are in terms of find counsel.

Small Business Contract Law

I needed help with drafting some custom legal contracts for my business. I was specifically looking for a small legal firm that aligns with my sole owner / operator business philosophy, service, and cost ethic. Stacia checked all of my boxes and had IMPECCABLE reviews online to boot. My business r...equires considerable non-standard legal structuring for relationships with both my customers and subcontractors. Stacia did a wonderful job helping me to effectively identify, clarify, and communicate my needs so she could best represent what I needed in contract form. As a result, I couldn't be more happy with the results and I fully intend to maintain an ongoing counsel agreement with her moving forward for additional on-demand services. I highly recommend her for custom small business contract work.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Stacia is an exceptional attorney and I highly endorser her. I spent a few years learning from Stacia while she worked at Betts Patterson, and I was always so impressed with how her mind worked. She would think of solutions and ideas that you might expect from someone who had been practicing for 30 years, and yet she was just three years out of law school. Stacia is not only creative with solutions, but she’s an incredibly gifted writer. Her writing is persuasive and to the point. You will not be disappointed if you hire Stacia Hofmann."
