I had a meeting with Ed Hightower to discuss a Business legal issue. Ed showed up on time and ready to listen. He recommend a possible solution for my business needs. I have recommended Edwin Hightower to friends and business associates.
Edwin, is a very competent, trustworthy attorney who has handled several items for our Companies. We have been very pleased with his knowledge and work and have and will refer him again.
I used Attorney Hightower recently in negotiations for a business sale. Mr. Hightower returns phone calls in a timely manner and is always on time for meetings. I found him to be knowledgable, personable and professional.
Edwin has drawn up several leases for me, in which he made sure my property and my liability are well protected. Edwin operates differently than other lawyers i've used in the past, he actually gets on the job at hand and gets it done. He returns calls and keeps me informed of the progress made. A true professional.
I use Mr. Hightower for all my business needs. Edwin is very responsive when I email him on a legal issues that pertain to my business and he will have me a answer within 24 hours.
