Retaining legal counsel from the onset of any transaction can alleviate stress and help to avoid otherwise unforeseen hazards that may prove costly in the future.  The goal in any transaction, whether between individuals, businesses or both, is to ensure clients have all the necessary information and guidance to make forthright and responsible decisions while protecting themselves from liability.
