  I founded a branded packaged food company nearly 10 years ago and was introduced to Lisa Holter Ankel at Avisen during our first capital raise. I wish there were six stars, she is outstanding. Her attention to all the details is like nothing I've ever seen, and in my opinion, the most important thing. Lisa is also warm, creative, open to new ideas (and challenges) and has supported our small, growing family business in more ways than just great legal advice. I would recommend her to anyone, she has become an essential part of our closely held business.

  Working with Avisen has been a great experience for our firm. They have provided excellent support and guidance on all our legal matters. I appreciate having the support like an internal legal team yet the flexibility that Avisen provides. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

  Every business owner should have a legal advisor as dedicated to their success as David Peteler. When you work with David, you have a teammate who is in the trenches with you everyday. With his experience and zen-like approach to problem solving – often before they arise – you're free to run your business. If you're looking for someone you can trust, and someone who knows business, I highly recommend David and his team at Avisen Legal.

  As a repeat entrepreneur, I have had positive and negative experiences working with various law firms for business formation and other company legal needs. I'm now in the process of establishing multiple new enterprises, both for-profit and non-profit. Working with David Peteler of Avisen is amazing. His broad and deep experience - not just in legal areas but also business and strategic planning, finance, startup operations, etc. - is proving to be invaluable. David's sincere interest in our activities and his commitment to our success is unlike anything I've experienced working with other attorneys; it enhances our communications and adds efficiency to our working together. We are building sustainable organizations that will have great benefit for individuals, other organizations, communities, and society. I look forward to the continued wise counsel of David Peteler and Avisen as the entrepreneurial seeds we're now planting take root and begin to bloom.

  The Avisen Team helped us sell our family business recently. As owners, the experience felt daunting and complicated. Todd and the team handled everything with integrity, professionalism, and skill. They absolutely know what they are doing, and they know how to help their clients move through complicated, sometimes emotionally charged, situations. We beat the odds and closed the deal. Our friends at Avisen were invaluable!

  As an entrepreneur troubleshooting a new idea, I expected my meeting with David Kaplan to be another set of rejections. Instead, I got more positive energy and encouragement from one hour than I've gotten in four months. Words cannot express how badly I needed a cheerleader, and I never expected to find that in my lawyer. 10/10, the bedside manner was astronomically better than the giant law firms I saw before this.

  Avisen has the team with the experiance to guide you through the challenges of doing business. I have often mused its the kind of advice that guides you to solutions and helps protect you when things don't go as planned...which is critical in the current economic climate. Todd Taylor and team are 5 stars all the way.

  I had a great experience working with Bray Dohrwardt during my business purchase. He was invaluable, walking me through all the legal documents, and he took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. His attention to detail was impressive, and I learned a lot throughout the process. Bray was always quick to respond and easy to work with. This was my second time using him, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. If you're looking for a solid business acquisition attorney in the St. Paul-Minneapolis area, I highly recommend him. Thanks again, Bray!
