Memorandum Method - Saving Clients Time and Money

As an attorney with over 30 years of experience, Steven Sutton understands that many clients are concerned about the cost of hiring an attorney. In addition to providing cost-effective legal services, our firm has a unique way of reviewing commercial leases that can save clients significant time and money.

In the memorandum method, we review the lease and then generate a memo that highlights its main points and describes any issues. Instead of spending a client's time simply restating the talking points of a commercial lease in a lengthy meeting, we draft a memo for them to review. If modifications are needed, we make them. If not, we forward the memo to the landlord's attorney - saving hours of "talk time". We are then able to focus on the essential points of contention and obtain maximum results in negotiation. Over the years we have found this approach to be extremely effective in focusing the parties and their counsel on the essential points of contention and saving substantial money for our clients. We get our clients a lease that either eliminates the problems they faced initially, or at least they go into the transaction knowing its pitfalls.
