San Antonio Business Attorney – Former Litigation Specialist For thirty years, Mr. Montgomery tried cases for plaintiffs and defendants in State and Federal courts from California to Delaware, with Texas as home base. The firm has been the advocate for individuals and small companies as well as companies in the Fortune 100. Those litigation cases have ranged from representing thousands of homeowners for broken plastic pipe in their homes to oil royalty disputes to breach of confidentiality agreements. After literally taking business transactions apart in the courtroom for years, clients (and opponents) began asking Jim to work on the transactions from the beginning to try to prevent the problems from ever occurring. In that stance, the firm has helped buyers and sellers in the sales of businesses ranging from large retail stores and manufacturing facilities to insurance agencies. We have helped clients buy multi-million dollar, multi-story office buildings and negotiate commercial lease agreements. MYTHS If you list your business for sale with a broker, it will sell just like real estate. Businesses where the owner is the principal technician and marketer can easily be sold and for a higher price. It is easy to finance the sale of a business through a bank. You make more money if you owner finance the sale of your business. Mergers & Acquisitions – Buy/ Sell Business -Business Planning Asset Protection – Family Wealth Planning | Wills | Trusts Contact Us Directions Library As a San Antonio business law firm, we help design corporate structures and business transactions to increase profit, minimize taxes, and make sure that assets are protected from lawsuits. Through our experience, we have learned where the potholes and sticking points will be. We believe in long term relationships based on trust. We believe in regular review and meetings in order to get to know the client's business and plans in more depth than is possible in the normal "hire a lawyer only when in trouble" mindset.
