Scott T. – New York City
“We have had a relationship with Denton Peterson for over 5 years, and they have represented our companies in almost every manner imaginable. From the most mundane of issues, to acquisitions, to legal defense and everything in between the skill and overall management of the efforts has been outstanding. Brad Denton has been our lead attorney within the firm, although we have worked with many others in the company over the years. They approach each case with an open mind, and an amazing grasp of relevant law…which in turn allows legal strategies and approaches to be managed correctly from Day 1. I can’t possibly give a stronger recommendation to anyone considering using them!“
David F. – Texas
From the moment I first contacted Denton Peterson, I have been consistently impressed with their courtesy, skill, and professionalism. I would recommend Brad Denton to anyone. He is extremely knowledgeable in matters of the law and he proved to me that he is honest and reasonable as well. In my interactions with Mr. Denton he was always concise, well prepared, and most importantly kind. His preparation, knowledge, and experience as a litigator proved invaluable in every aspect of my case. I would recommend him and his firm to anyone who is in need of an excellent and tough attorney. I would be happy to share my experience in more detail as a reference to anyone considering this firm.
Alexis – Arizona
I found myself on the wrong end of a lawsuit. . . . Sterling handled my claim and to be honest I am so happy he did. Within weeks we had a settlement offer . . . . I am thrilled with his ability to see through the facts of a claim and relay that to his opposing counsel and effectuate a settlement . . . I cannot say enough good things about Sterling. He is personable, approachable, knowledgeable, funny, and talented as a lawyer. . . . . I highly recommend him as a lawyer and his firm is great, they give their time and do not just give you time you are paying for but had contact both on an amicable (human) basis, as well as great legal communication.
“Having had the occasion to require counsel and legal representation recently, I turned to Sterling for clarification and professional guidance through a most challenging obstacle. Solid information and continual, trusted encouragement was provided to me throughout the entire experience and the results of the case left me grateful for his expertise and interest. His knowledge, skill and of course his personal attention to his clients allow me to recommend him with confidence.
At Denton Peterson our first priority is your success.
We help with contracts. You may need different types of contracts in your business. As an employer, you will want to know your options related to non-compete agreements, and many businesses will also need a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to use when revealing confidential company information or entering into sensitive negotiations. Of course, employers also need employment agreements (or independent contractor agreements) to be legally sound—after determining whether an employment or independent contractor relationship is appropriate. We also assist with joint venture agreements, operating agreements, consulting agreements, sales agreements, sales contracts and other structural agreements needed for a concern to operate soundly.
We help create corporations and LLCs. Our clients often come to us for the creation of their corporate or legal entities, whether an LLC, corporation, or other legal entity such as a partnership. As these documents are negotiated and drawn up, we can advise clients on the most advantageous legal structure for their operation.
We help with litigation and trials. We are experienced and highly successful litigators. Our Mesa Arizona litigation lawyers have handled all kinds of business litigation matters, including commercial litigation, breach of contract disputes (including partnership disputes, employment disputes and payment disputes), infringement of intellectual property litigation (such as copyright and trademark lawsuits) and many other types of business litigation.
We help with business transfers and buy/sells. If you sell your company or purchase one, we assist with buy/sell agreements; we are lawyers for merger and acquisition contracts; we transfer ownership of intellectual property; and we guide clients through the legal procedure for employment challenges inherent in transfer of ownership or merger of companies.
We help with franchise law. We are experienced franchise law attorneys in Mesa Arizona, having represented many clients with putting together and reviewing franchise disclosure documents.
