He went through the provisions of each document during the review of the draft documents and made revisions to incorporate our wishes. He and his staff were very responsive to my emails.

I was referred to attorney Ryan Brown for a consultation about an employment contract. Ryan, who is…read morelicensed to practice law in both Virginia and DC, had his colleague Kyle Epting sit in on the phone call. I appreciated that I got to speak with two attorneys, so that I could be helped in the best way possible. The consultation lasted about 20 minutes, which is not much time for them to read all of the documents that I had emailed to them, but Ryan and Kyle gave me accurate advice that helped me. I did not have to hire them, but if I did have to hire someone, I would have hired them. I am grateful for their assistance, and I would recommend their services to other people.

I was considering purchasing a newly renovated 2 BR condo in DC. The developer wanted to use a…read morenon-standard contract and I needed to have an attorney look it over on fairly short notice, as I had questions about some of the terms. Despite DC having more lawyers than anywhere else in the country, this was surprisingly difficult to find someone to do. Robert Kaufman agreed to do the review for me. He provided incredibly sage advice which allowed me to understand the transaction I was getting into, and he suggested some modifications that I might want to make to the contract. Mr. Kaufman was exceptionally knowledgable and the money I spent for this service was well worth it. I would not hesitate to engage Bayer & Kaufman again on real estate matters and would highly recommend them to others.

We took the opportunity to have my mom participate so we both updated several legal documents. Kyle was exceptional and helped guide us to additions and subtractions from prior documents. Kyle was willing to drive to a convenient meeting place which helped with the commute time picking up my mom and joining Kyle and Nathan in Columbia, MD. Kyle's use of DocuSign made it simple to complete an engagement letter to start work immediately and he answered all our questions in preparation for document review and then additional questions during the review. Kyle had timely follow up which provided an overall great experience to know we have our legal documents updated and executed. Great job Kyle!

I hired Ms. Arnett to create my Living Trust and my Last Will and Testament. I knew the time had…read morecome, but I was naive. I thought I just needed a Will. But after interviewing me and taking meticulous notes on my wishes, she helped me understand that especially because I own a small business, a Will was not sufficient enough to honor my wishes. And this was no upsell. It was a lesson about how little power a Will has and how much it doesn't cover. And I think most lay people like me would be surprised too. It's not just about who you want your deceased grandmother's jewelry to go to. What would you do if you were still alive, but unable to make decisions for yourself? If you own a small business, what's going to happen to it if you die? What if you have no wife, siblings or children, such there would be not be an obvious or lawful choice as a beneficiary? And if a Court had to ultimately decide for you, would you want some random Judge making these decisions - all because you didn't want to spend the time and money to create the needed official legal documents that ratify your wishes when you were still alive? Ms. Arnett was willing to negotiate a very fair cost for drafting these docs and was more than patient with me when some life events caused me to take a really long time to review and proofread the drafts of all of the docs, even though she prepared them in a timely manner. And when it was time to sign all of the documents, she included two of her own assistants, necessary to serve as two witnesses, with one being a notary public. I give BT Arnett my highest recommendation!
