00:00:04 – The Value of Business Lawyers

Providing services to our clients.
Before people get to know us, they think that we’re merely a scrier or a document preparation service.
And really, when you go to a business lawyer like us, the biggest part of the project typically is the advisory services that go along with the preparation of the documents.

00:00:27 – Client Story: Naturopathic Doctor Purchasing a Clinic

This week we had the opportunity to meet with one of our clients. She is a naturopathic doctor and runs this medical clinic called the Wellness Integrative Naturopathic Center. Really a wonderful young doctor.
She went through the process of purchasing a business from another doctor. And through the purchase process, she had a lot of questions in terms of what to do, when to do it, and what were all the appropriate steps—because she just wants to make sure that she does it right.

00:00:55 – Appreciation from a Client

As a consequence of our meetings and our conversations, she was very appreciative, I think, of the services that we provided and was nice enough yesterday to send over a beautiful edible bouquet.
And I wanted to show you the bouquet and show you the photos that we had and talk a little bit about what the experience is of these clients that we have.
They are really people, and they’re trying to do the best they can, and they wisely use business law services. And how they do it is come in and get those advisory services that we provide.
And here’s just a display of someone’s appreciation for what we did for them.
