Law Firm Buyout Testimonials

We hired Roy to help us navigate the ways to transition our multi-million dollar immigration firm to a qualified associate. We found his approach very practical and it helped guide our conversation and gave us a timetable to work with. The information that Roy requested from us to learn about our practice was manageable. The questions posed to each of us as to the “Perfect Exit” helped us each identify our longer term goals, share them with each other, and reach alignment so that we could move forward with concrete steps. It was also helpful to have Roy’s suggestions for different ways to value our practice that did not involve us getting bogged down in a lot of detailed number crunching and complex accounting.

My partner and I hired Roy to provide ideas about how to best transition our interests in our litigation firm to my other partner. He was genuinely interested in helping us define and resolve our issues. Roy thoroughly understood each of our characterizations of where we were and our thoughts on where we wanted to be. His non-judgmental questions kept us moving forward and motivated us to reach a solution that we are very pleased to have achieved.

I own a very successful personal injury practice and hired Roy to help devise a potential buyout by associates. He was very prompt in meeting with us and responding to our requests. Roy provided answers to all of our questions and gave us a lot valuable information, such as the information regarding the likelihood of non-attorneys being able to buy our firm in the near future. We had not considered this possibility, but it is extremely relevant and may be how we end up selling the firm. Roy also did a great job interviewing our potential buyers and getting their input.

I own a very successful personal injury law firm. I liked Roy’s straight-forward approach. I also appreciated his flexibility in looking at all options, rather than just pushing for a high-value sale. Roy really looked at things holistically and helped me assess all options – including a slow sale and/or not selling at all for a while.

I had the wonderful privilege of working with Roy on a minority transfer (essentially a buy-in) of our law practice to two associate attorneys. I greatly appreciated Roy’s vast knowledge about these matters and his careful attention to detail. He provided much needed guidance and had wonderful suggestions about how to proceed as well as alternative ideas and models. I thought his financial analyses were fair and on point. I highly recommend using Roy to assist in navigating these very subjective waters!
