Mr Seward is a professional with ethics and broad knowledge base

I had a business contract issue with a business partner. Mr Seward helped me through an issue that several other top attorneys in the area declined taking my case due to the complicated nature of the dispute. He listened carefully to what my needs were and the end result I was seeking. Mr Seward pulled off what other attorneys said was not possible and my business is in stronger standing than it's ever been. I am profoundly pleased with the result, how much I paid and I feel confident that I will hire Mr Seward for any future business issues I have in the future.

Sale of Business Assets

We came to Richard facing a very difficult, unfriendly acquisition by a major supplier. From the beginning it was clear that our only course of action was to preserve as much of our company's value as possible. Richard did an excellent job of keeping us focused through trying times and suggested creative ways around the acquirer's Board demands, thereby restoring many of the take-aways that disappeared between the original and the final offers. Richard is full of integrity and was a calm presence through the entire process with the bonus of a good sense of humor that was often called upon.
