Consumate Professional

As a start up company, we could not have been more blessed with Rick on our team. He expertly guided us through all aspects of starting the company, listened to our concerns, gave us all the options and in the long run, probably saved us thousands of dollars. Rick genuinely cares about the people i...nvolved and the future success of the business you have. I cannot endorse or refer him enough.

Top Merger Attorney in the US

Rick was excellent in representing the my tech company through a merger with a Silicon Valley private equity company. He was always two steps ahead of the Silicon Valley attorney. Our Silicon Valley banker was very impressed with quality of work he did and how on point he was. He was shocked at the v...alue. Thank you Rick for representing us and getting us the best deal possible. Hands down I would use Rick and his firm again. If you're so lucky as to get him to represent you, you won't be disappointed.

Top-Notch Attorney

Rick Repp has represented our bank for the past 11 years and has proven to be an indispensable part of our team. In my capacity as CFO, I have had the distinct pleasure to work with Rick on public and private capital offerings, mergers, acquisitions, SEC and other regulatory filings, investor commun...ications, contract review and various other issues. Rick is an exceptional attorney with a commitment to excellence. His legal expertise, attention to detail and superb analytical skills have been an invaluable asset. Rick efficiently manages our projects and effectively collaborates with our accountants, regulators and investment bankers. He is very responsive and treats clients with patience, understanding and the utmost professionalism. Rick always exceeds my expectations and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Outstanding Work For My Startup

Richard Repp did an amazing job drafting the incorporation documents my startup needed to become a C-Corp and accept investment. If you have a startup or an established company and are looking for a lawyer with outstanding integrity and work ethic, Richard is your guy. He has been incredibly patient ...and has gone out of his way to teach us about the legal side of business. He has created legal and marketing agreements, NDA’s, equity pool and bi-law paperwork as well as many other documents. Richard always goes above and beyond my expectations! You get more than what you pay for when working with Richard Repp.
