For the last 2+ years, David and Hastings have been wonderful to work with. Any time we have a simple question or concern, David answers our call or gives a quick call back. We need to sit down for a meeting, they are available and accommodating to our schedules. That's important when you as a business owner need advice or direction quickly. Your problems are important to them and it really shows in their service. Need legal counsel with a team that's personable, knowledgeable and attentive? Hanshaw Kennedy Hafen is the firm for you.

I have known and worked with Hanshaw Kennedy more times that I wished for over the last 10 years. As President/CEO of a large manufacturing company, we had several occasions where we needed quick or immediate assistance. Hastings and his team (you won't find a better person in the world than Michelle) were able to quickly mobilize and meet us to offer guidance and legal assistance in the most professional manner possible. The firms ability to put complex legal situations in terms non-lawyers can understand is a tremendous help when trying to work through legal situations. When the world seems to be collapsing around you and your business, the cool headed, sane thinking offered by the Hanshaw Kennedy firm is priceless. I can't recommend highly enough this firm.

Dear Mr. Hanshaw and Mr. Kennedy, I just wanted to write you a short note to let you know how grateful I am with how Charles handled my case. He kept me informed and more importantly he listened to me when I thought I had something to offer. I think we achieved some very important goals by combining his knowledge of the laws and procedures and my knowledge of the facts of this case whether we were in agreement or saw different ways to approach the strategy. Charles put a lot of effort and dedication for my case, it is a true reflection of hard work, persistence, dedication and a common goal mind during a long and upsetting process. He provided counsel and generosity during a truly difficult time for my family, his knowledge, determination and being upfront while addressing my concerns provided confidence on a very uncertain period of my life. I respect and appreciate him, he showed at all times the highest level of impeccable professionalism, if ever the term gentleman applied to anyone it applies most especially to Charles, more than that he cared about the best interest of my child. Charles expertise and guidance helped make our mediation the overwhelming success it turned out to be. We were fortunate to have him on our side, and though the circumstances were unfortunate, it was a great experience working with him. To say I am pleased would be a great understatement. Again thank you so much for everything you and your firm has done for me. I really cannot tell you how much it all means. I hope this result is a good beginning for my daughter, her mother and me. Sincerely,

Value

We worked with the firm to help us setup our corporation. They were great to work with. They took the time to help us understand all of the aspects of forming a new company. We reviewed the corporate formation, tax benefits, partnership agreements...the works. We enjoyed working with them because they understood our goals. Have recommended the firm and will do it again.

I have used HKH for all my business legal needs and they have always keep me protected. My initial business filings for a partnership was setup quickly, even with some complex factors of the ownership breakdown. We had some contractual concerns with a client and HKH was able to jump in and help resolve the issues. This firm has been a life saver for our business. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Our business has trusted the team at HK for several years, with a range of needs. Whether helping to develop P&P's for our organization or our clients, assisting in collecting outstanding payments, or handling lawsuits from an offensive or defensive position, HK has been highly responsive and effective as our exclusive partner in the business law space. HK has and continues to handle a wide range of legal work for us: - Contract composition, review, revision - Development of corporate Policies and Procedures - Consulting on corporate equity and compensation plans - Setting up new corporate entities and subsidiaries - Non-compete issues - Defensive & Offensive counsel on lawsuits (all with positive outcomes) - Drafting demand letters to former customer businesses who refuse to pay dues owed (resulting in the recuperation of substantial revenue that had been written off as lost) - Family law Hanshaw Kennedy is a large enough firm that they are able to provide a team of vertical-specific experts for virtually every need, while still maintaining the responsiveness and attention to detail we require, operating in a heavily-regulated industry. We have referred them to many of our clients and colleagues, and would recommend them to anyone in need of legal services they provide. Finding the right partner to safeguard our business from a legal perspective was a long, frustrating endeavor. Our partnership with HK over the past few years has empowered us in ways we could not have foreseen, allowing us to focus less on the legal issues faced by all mid-sized companies, and focus our efforts on managing and growing our business.
