I walked into some uncharted territory, and John Carter and his team truly helped to guide me through to a successful outcome. I was headed the wrong direction, was given a course correction, and my partner and I were able to walk away in far better position then we could have hoped for - timely, efficient, and truly took our best interest to heart!

I have worked with Jason Covault on two different cases and could not be more satisfied. His knowledge of the law and his ability to effectively present it to the court have been the silver lining that has helped make difficult situations much easier to deal with and, usually, ultimately prevail.

As a local business broker, I recently worked closely with Taylor Gustafson and Seema on a lower-mid market business transaction, who was representing the Sellers. I found Taylor and Seema to both be very professional, thorough, motivated to keep the deal moving forward and on time, and overall friendly and easy to work with. I've already shared Taylor's info with several clients who are looking for a solid transaction attorney.

Taylor J. Gustafson was referred to me through a different firm who wasn’t able to take on my Commercial Lease Negotiation and I am so thankful for them matching me with Taylor. Taylor was easy to talk to, diligent in his communication, superb team player and an effective negotiator resulting in a great outcome for my new start up company, Swysh Den Basketball. I highly recommend Taylor and the whole firm at May, Potenza, Baran & Gillespie, P.C. and appreciate them for taking me on as a Client and providing a high quality service.
