Trowbridge Nieh LLP have done all the docs. They’ve kept me out of a ditch. In fact, it was your workshop that actually taught me how to understand what a syndication was, how to do it correctly, how to make sure I was going through the correct steps and staying out of trouble. So just about everything I know about syndicating has all been from you. So thank you very much.

We have worked with Gene for more than 10 years and are very happy with the work he has done for us. He is extremely knowledgeable, explains complex issues in simple, layman terms, and is always available to answers questions. We would highly recommend Gene to anyone who wants personalized and professional representation.

I have worked with Jon and his firm for years and they have always been honest and prompt. What I appreciate is they assist with small odds and ends and don’t bill you for every email or call, they focus on the relationship and make their income on the larger jobs and build relationships on the small tasks.

Gene has been our Securities attorney for a decade (506(b) & 506(c)). Through the years, he has helped us build our processes for offerings by coaching us through various investor scenarios we have encountered along the way. And, we appreciate that Gene’s documents are clean and easy to read, making the content more accessible for our investors as they review the offering documentation. Most importantly, Gene has been invaluable when we come to him with a goal we need to achieve with our deal structure and the problems we see ahead that we need to avoid; Gene’s vast experience means he always has a simple solution in his back pocket. One of his recent solutions was a game-changer for us and gives us optionality we will make use of in the future as a company. Gene is a critical part of the foundation that has allowed our company to be successful, particularly in regards to syndications.
