Best Attorney in the Inland Northwest

I am a serial entrepreneur, having started many businesses over the last 10 years and I have trusted only 1 attorney. Steve Faust. He has helped me understand things I never knew I needed to know, he has guided me in LLC partnerships, corporate governance and helped facilitate Trademark/IP protecti...on. Steve has been a one stop shop for me in every business initiatives I have started. I have recommended Steve Faust to every friend who needs help and I would recommend Steve Faust to everyone on the web. What I appreciate and respect most about Steve, he is honest, sincere, and caring. Just meet with him once and you will hire him.

Experienced, Diligent & Tactful Business Law Professional

Mr. Faust facilitated a critical Subscription Agreement for our non-profit business with one of our major benefactors. Mr. Faust steered this agreement over the course of nine months, and despite encountering myriad hurdles and challenges he consistently demonstrated a depth of expertise and level of... patience that kept both parties grounded and always moved the ball forward. I was his primary point of contact for our business, and I always felt fully informed and confident. Having very limited legal experience, I appreciated that Mr. Faust always articulated aspects of the agreement very clearly to ensure that I could communicate effectively with our Board of Directors. It was a genuine pleasure to work with Mr. Faust, and I recommend him without reservation for business and contract law.
