In the legal profession, the single best method for getting new clients -- even more effective than advertising and social media presence -- is the humble referral. This is because, when you hire a lawyer, you aren’t just paying someone to perform a service. You are entrusting your livelihood, and your future, with a professional who you hope has the experience and the skill to provide necessary guidance. That’s why referrals are so important: the people you most trust are able to say to you, here’s somebody I think can help.

At Enterprise Esquire, we take our role as trusted advisor very seriously, and we consider it the highest honor when we are referred by our colleagues and clients. If you have worked with us in the past, either as a client or a fellow professional, please consider referring our firm to others who need business, nonprofit, real estate, or trademark help. If you still need some convincing, here are five reasons to refer us.

1. We are specialists, not generalists.

Some firms like to hedge their bets by taking cases in a bunch of different areas of law. We believe in the value of expertise. For us, it is more important to truly excel in a few areas of law rather than to dabble far and wide. That means, when you refer Enterprise Esquire and the Law Office of Alexis Hart McDowell, you can feel comfortable knowing that your friend or family member is going to get high-quality legal services backed up with years of specialized experience.

2. Small firm services with big firm quality.

As a small firm, we are able to provide a level of service and attention to our clients that just isn’t possible for the bigger firms. Each of our clients receives individually-tailored legal services designed to create the best possible outcomes. One-size-fits-all is not for us. Our legal services are all about personalization and really caring about our clients.

3. Let’s get it done.

At Enterprise Esquire, we are all about communication and efficiency. We believe that, by coordinating our office internally, we can provide the best possible client experience. We know your time is valuable, so you shouldn’t have to waste a moment tracking down your attorney or waiting for a callback. We allow you to schedule your own call online, so we are available when its convenient for you. This allows us to provide efficient, effective legal representation without the hassle. Let’s get it done.

4. Work with an entrepreneur who gets it.

Enterprise Esquire’s founder, Alexis Hart McDowell, is a successful entrepreneur, both in her legal practice and as a real estate investor. When was the last time you worked with a professional who actually got it? Don’t waste time trying to get an attorney on your level. We know as a business owner or a nonprofit founder, you are ready to hit the ground running, create results, and move on to the next thing. In the meantime, did you know Alexis wrote a book? You can download your free copy of the ebook, “I Want to Start a Business, Now What?” for some valuable information and a glimpse into Alexis’ passion for results.

5. We believe in getting what you pay for.

Unlike most law firms, Enterprise Esquire does not charge an hourly rate to talk to you about your business. Instead, we provide a variety of business, nonprofit, real estate, and trademark service packages on a flat-rate model. That way, you know what to expect, and there are no unpleasant surprises. Because we charge a flat fee, you never need to worry about calling with a question or asking for more information. We are committed to helping you understand every part of the process while meeting your business needs with a service that is designed for you. You only pay for what you need, and you can use that certainty to plan your next moves.

At Enterprise Esquire, we strive to provide a compassionate and professional environment for each of our clients. We consider our clients friends, and we enjoy building long-term relationships with every business owner we meet. To our former clients, current clients, and colleagues, we have greatly enjoyed getting to know you. If you were happy with the work we have done for you, please consider referring Enterprise Esquire to your friends and family.
