The people at Lodgepole is truly exceptional. When it came to acquiring a liquors license for my business, they sprung into action and provided remarkable assistance at an incredible pace. Their dedication to their clients is top-notch.

I recommend Benjamin J. Brickweg without hesitation. He went above and beyond to assist me with my legal situation. I found him knowledgeable, honest and a person of integrity. If other circumstances arise in Benjamin's area of expertise, I will contact him.

I was connected with Ben through Rocket Lawyer and have been so pleased with my experience. Ben was personable, down-to-earth and provided me with great information and sound advice. Our initial call is time that he was donating and that call alone offered great value. As a small business owner, I can't say how much I appreciate how honest he was in his advice, even if that advice did not involve billable work for Ben and his team. He was upfront about what their areas of expertise were, and what areas they don't commonly work in, as well as cost of services, helping me to make the best decision for my project and small business. I've also recommended Ben to my husband to meet needs for his work and will continue to recommend to other friend, colleagues, etc. Another side note, I asked to reschedule a couple hours before our meeting due to an unexpected conflict and Eren was very kind and understanding for the last minute change. She was also prompt in getting it rescheduled for the same day, even though it was a hiccup on my end. Keep up the great work, Sagewood Legal & Business Advisors!

Connected with Ben through a work benefit. I was nervous it would be a hard sell for a longer engagement, but he very quickly and fully answered my questions. I felt an affinity right off the bat, so we will use his firm for some additional work we need to have done, but not because of any nasty hard sell. Much appreciated.

I had a very helpful consultation today with Ben. He was kind, conscientious, honest and knowledgeable! That is not a combo you can find in just any attorney. He's a keeper. I recommend him highly for business and estate needs!

Ben and the staff at Sagewood Legal were extremely knowledgeable, helpful and generous with their time to help my startup make some key decisions at the early stages, so we can stay compliant and on the right path forward, based on the guidance we received early on from Ben and Sagewood Legal and Business Advisors. Thanks again!

Ben was down to earth, extremely knowledgeable and helpful with his feedback on my legal issues. I will definitely call him again for any other legal needs and will recommend him to friends and family. Thank you Ben!
