After a lengthy search for an attorney that would not only fit our current needs, and know who can be there as we grow/ expand our business; we decided to choose the Barnes Law Firm local to Raleigh. Houston was very helpful through the whole process of getting our paperwork completed. He efficiently and clearly answered our questions, and surprisingly even answered the phone when I was just going to leave a voicemail. Houston was quick to correct a critical oversight on our documents before they were finalized. So far, I am pleased with the Barnes Law Firm’s service, and plan to retain him for on going business endeavors.

Helpful LLC formation services: easy, quick, and professionally done.

Mr. Barnes was a pleasure to work with. Forming an LLC. was quick and easy with his law firm. Highly recommend.

Houston is knowledgeable and effective at what he does. I am pleased to recommend him.

The Barnes Law Firm is a great firm to assist with all things business related. I never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Barnes face to face but after talking to him it felt like I have know him my whole life. I am still not sure if this firm is a one man show or has a team, but one thing I can tell you is this company gets the job done.

Things that surprised me:

- Mr. Barnes insist that he is call Houston; which just made me feel more comfortable about trusting a stranger to help me start my company.

- Mr. Barnes really wanted me to understand the in’s & out’s of being a being a business owner in NC, he really cared.

- Mr. Barnes is very honest, he did not try to sell me a dream.

The Barnes Law Firm should be your 1st call on all things business related. Give them a call, see for yourself.

Attorney Barnes assisted me with setting up my LLC and EiN number. Previously I had set up another LLC through an online company that in retrospect I would have structured differently. Setting up my LLC with Barnes Law Firm was seamless. Attorney Barnes answered my questions. He was polite, professional, knowledgeable and offered advice which helped me decide how to structure my LLC. In about a week I had my LLC. The Operating Agreement drafted by Barnes Law Firm exceeded my expectations and was vastly superior to what the online company had put together for my previous LLC. I also chose Barnes Law Firm as my registered agent. I would highly recommend Barnes Law Firm for your business legal needs.

Absolutely amazing! Houston Helped with the formation of my very first LLC. I am impressed with the quick turn-around time, wonderful service, and professionalism shown throughout such a confusing process! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Houston was wonderful to work with and I couldn't recommend him any more highly. He understands founders' challenges and provides excellent guidance.

Houston assisted me with the closing of my business purchase. He was fantastic in every regard.

ABOVE AND BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS.
I was referred to Mr. Barnes by a local small business financial advisor she had her own business setup through . I needed to setup an LLC and decided on going with a trusted local attorney over many reputable online services. I am so glad that I did! The price was very affordable, it was super efficient, and faster than I expected. In less than a week I got my full paperwork with the Secretary of State, my LLC operating agreement, and my EIN number. Mr. Barnes was also super-helpful with educating me on the important steps, and gave me additional resource materials for the road ahead. One Twisted Squirrel, LLC is now official— I have Mr. Barnes to thank for that! I highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about starting up their own business and wants to be legally secure.

Houston is a pleasure to work with. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, timely, and friendly. I feel at peace knowing that he is on my side.

Fast professional service. Will definitely be using him again for all my business needs.

Houston has handled multiple business situations for me in a timely manner. Very efficient! Highly recommend.

Got my LLC set up with Barnes Law Firm. it was a smooth process and painless- communication was fast and always ready to assist! I highly recommend them!

When I talk about my experiences with Barnes Law Firm, I sometimes have to contain my excitement because Houston Barnes and team have gone beyond the bounds of traditional business counsel to create value and redefine what it means to be a strategic advisor and business partner. I’ve worked with Houston for over 6 years and can attest to how transformational it has been to have a long-time attorney and advisor that I trust in my corner looking out for my best interest.

I highly recommend using Barnes Law Firm not just for quick, transactional legal projects, but also as true advisors that offer comprehensive legal counsel. As intra/entrepreneurs, we sometimes get a little too scrappy and cut back on services that we think are adding to costs, but are really creating long-term value. I made these mistakes before meeting Houston and those companies didn’t survive. The moment you start viewing legal counsel as a competitive advantage instead of cost center, you will transform your business to new heights. Don’t just ask Houston to review your contracts every once in awhile. Get Houston and team involved early and often as part of your organizational strategy. If you don’t take advantage of his rare combination of entrepreneurial, executive, and legal experience, you’re simply shortchanging your business. I can’t stress this enough.

Today's market calls for a different kind of legal counselor. One that takes into account your company's unique identity and position in the market, one that has deep experience in both the legal and business side of growing a company, and one that can deliver sustainable competitive advantage through expert, personalized guidance. Barnes Law Firm has been my competitive advantage & I look forward to our continued work together! :)

I have enjoyed my relationship with Barnes Law Firm and will continue using them as needed . Houston is always very prompt at responding to emails and phone calls. I appreciate the fact that he considers me and my business goals in make decisions and guiding me on legal matters. I would recommend Barnes Law Firm to anyone looking for a responsive caring law firm.

Our organization is an educational nonprofit and we have worked with Barnes Law for several years. Houston is very personable, knowledgable, and efficient. From small questions to complex contracts, Houston is able to help and billing is always fair.

I would highly recommend working with Houston! I have wanted to set up an LLC for some time but was dreading the paperwork. Houston made the process incredibly easy and convenient. He turn everything around quickly, took time to answer my questions and gave me great practical advice. It was a pleasure working with him and would do so again without hesitation.

As a newly emerging small business owner, I needed an experienced attorney to (a) advise me as to the best business structure (ie sole proprietor, LLC, etc) for my business and (b) review my contracts. Attorney Houston Barnes did both promptly and thoroughly, He took the time to explain things to me in easy-to-understand terms, and I feel he took great care of me with regard to the work he did. He was reachable and responsive as well (ie, he responded to phone calls and messages in a very timely manner - which is important to me). Grateful to have found him and to have him as my attorney.

From my initial phone call to Houston Barnes about assisting me with some legal aspects for a small business he has exceeded my expectations. His ability to listen, comprehend, and his attention to details has been outstanding throughout the process of assisting me get my business off the ground. Thank you from Kids at Play Consulting, L.L.C.

Houston Barnes did excellent work structuring the Operating Agreement for our LLC, which enabled us to bring on a 3rd member with confidence. He was generous with his consulting time prior to being hired and gave us sound advice throughout the process. We were initially skeptical whether we needed a lawyer, but in the end it was well worth the investment.

We love to have Barnes Las Firm be part of our business. Houston Barnes always responded in a timely manner to all our requests, and he was very capable to handle the business. Their legal service is very affordable and much more reasonable, especially for a startup company like us.

There are lawyers and then there is Houston. This man absolutely sits in a league of his own. In all sincerity, your wasting your time looking somewhere else or considering another firm. His insight, intuition and sheer skill is spot on in the most vital details and tangible in every single part of the process. They have a level of professionalism and care at the same time that I just don't get to see too often in this industry. Rest assured regardless of your situation or in my particular case plain ole drama. You are in the absolute best hands ever regardless of what legal journey your facing. I could not have ever imagined enjoying hiring an attorney. Like who "enjoys" something like that. Crazy enough, because of Houston... I did. If the situation is important to you and you don't have room for error... don't be stupid, stop looking, and quickly hire The Barnes Law Firm.

Houston's experience, professionalism, and integrity was invaluable during equity negotiations with my startup founders. I am extremely satisfied with the results of his work which involved navigating difficult personalities, strong emotions and complicated offers. Houston is also easy to talk to, translates difficult legal issues well, and most importantly- fought for me. I strongly recommend him!

Barnes Law is great! We've been happy customers since 2012. It can be hard to find a tech-savvy lawyer to help out with small SAAS company needs. Houston has always been there for us. He's fast to return calls/emails, is easy to work with, and all completed work has been just what we needed. Highly recommended!

Houston is great! He really helped me figure out the legal technicalities in starting my business. He always made time for my questions and to explain any document. He is knowledgeable in the issues of starting a company and goes above and beyond in offering help in all aspects of the business. I highly recommend him to friends when they need a lawyer.

I contacted The Barnes Law Firm to help with the startup of my small business, and have had an outstanding experience with Houston as my attorney. Houston is knowledgeable, thorough, experienced and most importantly, communicative. He responds to all of my emails, calls, needs and/or requests in an impressive, timely fashion. He has been a sounding board, and has provided great advice, for questions typical for someone new to the startup world. The fees for the services provided by Houston are well worth it, and there are never any billing surprises. I have had a very positive experience working with Houston and plan to use him, and The Barnes Law Firm, as my go-to legal source going forward.
