Even though they didn't have a lot of experience in ag when we started working with them, they asked the right questions and the respect they had for the work we do really showed through. We also appreciated the quick turn-around time on our new client contracts. Overall, we got excellent business advice, and are on a stronger footing mitigating the legal risks involved in our business with them as our legal team."
