“One piece of advice I received early on in my efforts to expand and improve the business that I run was to gather trusted and capable team members who will work with me toward my goals. Attorney Baker has been a key team member who has helped us to navigate the sometimes complex legal requirements we have faced as we moved from being renters to property owners, worked with local authorities through our construction phase, closed on loans, etc. We would not be where we are today without Jim’s legal expertise, his caring and supportive guidance, and his willingness to go the extra mile.”
