"Don Johnsen of Gallagher & Kennedy was referred to our restaurant brewery within the first year of opening. … it became apparent that we needed to understand Arizona employment practices and seek [legal] guidance. As employee situations [arose], such as harassment amongst employees, … we sought counsel from Don and usually had a plan [to address issues] within a day or two … such as new policies, disclaimers, etc."

"Luckily, both Don Johnsen and James Connor at Gallagher & Kennedy have always steered us in the right direction and there has never been any litigation. ... a testament to their professionalism and expertise in how to handle issues that could [easily] be litigated if not handle[d] appropriately. ... Both attorneys … are very knowledgeable. They answer our direct questions and go beyond whe[n] more advice is appropriate. They speak plain English, not complicated legalese. … We once were forced into thinking about filing bankruptcy when a second restaurant venture seemed doomed to failure. James Connor set us up with another attorney in the firm who has experience in bankruptcies and landlord/tenant relations… [and] we were able to avoid bankruptcy.”
