Everest Partners LLC

Our association began more than 19 years ago. We have worked together extensively and intensively on the most complex matters. Their creativity and enthusiasm are unsurpassed. They have been responsive and effective under all circumstances and they have always been fair with us.

At a time of significant change in my professional life, Sugar, Friedberg & Felsenthal provided thoughtful and wise counsel on multiple issues. Their personal concern, legal expertise and negotiating skills resulted in a truly seamless transition for me. We have worked together for almost eight years since we started Everest Partners. I thought it was time to let you know how instrumental you have been in the success of our business. In thinking about this letter I took an inventory of the number of lawyers from your firm I have used in various transactions and believe it or not... Continued...

Thank you for 22 years of great service.
The value of your service immeasurably exceeds its cost with your well-grounded solutions and creativity.
We have relied on SFF over the years to analyze our issues on a strict cost/benefit basis. They have counseled us in reaching our business goals, and then helped us reach those goals with personal attention like no other law firm. SFF is an outstanding law firm. They've always been there when I've needed them. They have been totally dedicated to my needs and those of my business. The firm understands both business strategies and personal issues. They've accommodated all of my legal needs, from the most simple partnership and real estate transactions to the sale of complex businesses.

I have used Sugar, Friedberg & Felsenthal as my personal attorneys since they opened their doors over 20 years ago. I have the highest regard for them both as lawyers and as persons. My family has trusted our personal affairs to Sugar, Friedberg & Felsenthal for three generations. We have relied on them for the most complicated and challenging legal matters, which they have always handled with ease, efficiency and timelessness. We look forward to SFF counseling a fourth generation as well. At SFF it's the people. Law is law; some understand better than others; it's the people. When legal questions interrupt your daily routine and you need reliable and insightful thought, it's the people. We have been associated with SFF long enough to know we want to stay, it's the people.

I have used Sugar, Friedberg & Felsenthal for my tax and estate planning matters for more than 20 years. They are bright, creative and attentive. Above all else, they really understand the law and my needs as a client.

Board Member and Secretary/Treasurer Cancer Comfort Foundation    

One of the dreams of my brother was to establish a foundation to help alleviate the anxiety, suffering and isolation that cancer patients experience. My brother was an extraordinary businessman who came to rely on Sugar, Friedberg & Felsenthal for counsel during his successful career in the food manufacturing business. When my brother died, SFF helped us realize my brother's dream by doing the legal work to establish the Cancer Comfort Foundation. We appreciate the attention, care and proficiency which SFF showed in helping us organize and launch the Cancer Comfort Foundation.

Chairman and CEO
The Allant Group
   

I was reflecting recently on our long-time association, and realized that I had never formally acknowledged the contribution you and your colleagues have made to the success story that is The Allant Group. So let me make up for that oversight by letting you know how much I value the counsel your firm has provided over these many years. The expertise of your firm has allowed us to successfully traverse some very delicate legal straits in the past, and enabled us to avoid some of those snares altogether. As the owner of a firm that has built a reputation as a premier service provider in our industry, I recognize responsive service when I'm the recipient, and Sugar, Friedberg and Felsenthal has always worked quickly and competently to address our legal needs.

Please pass along my thanks to your colleagues. They have played no small role in my business affairs, and I am greatly appreciative of their efforts on Allant's behalf.

 
Midwest Young Artists    
Dr. Allan W. Dennis
Executive Director
   

We are deeply grateful to Sugar, Friedberg & Felsenthal for all they have done to make the programs of the Midwest Young Artists the Midwest leading youth music program, a success. We relied on SFF to work with the U.S. Department of Education, the Department of Defense, the builder, and local municipalities, in order to acquire and rehabilitate the real estate that became our rehearsal facility. It was a long and tedious six year process which could never have been successfully accomplished without the legal help of SFF. We came to admire the negotiating skills, as well as the litigation experience of the law firm. As a result of their accomplishments, we now have a home which accommodates more than 500 students, affording us to reach out to many more youngsters, and presenting a musical opportunity to youngsters like none they can get elsewhere.

Sugar, Friedberg & Felsenthal represented us in our Kmart bankruptcy lease claims concerning a warehouse/distribution property held in our portfolio. Their commitment to providing us with the best possible advice regarding our claim was one of the best investments we have ever secured. The attention and promptness to details plus the understanding of ownership’s concerns involving the matter were absolutely outstanding.  We could not have been more pleased with their efforts.

almost half the firm has played key roles in our complex deals. Whether the services have been real estate, tax, corporate or litigation, each member of your firm adds unique capacities and knowledge that have served me and my partners very well.

Knowing that you treated our transactions with the intensity and connectedness of an owner and that the deal's success was viewed by you as your responsibility always gave me the confidence that solutions could and would be found to some very thorny transaction issues. Lenders have great confidence in the competence of the firm and that has meant a lot in the heat of battle. There is no way to quantify the value of your services but I hope the fact that we continue to use you exclusively is an indication of the value we place on the relationship.
